Securing Publishing Sites with Lockdown Mode

By
Using lockdown mode on published sites if greater security on these sites is a requirement. Additionally, if you applied the Publishing Portal site template, determine if lockdown mode is the desired configuration for these sites. If not, use the Stsadm.exe command-line tool to turn off lockdown mode.

Turn off lockdown mode for a site collection

stsadm -o deactivatefeature -url -filename ViewFormPagesLockDown\feature.xml

Turn on lockdown mode for a site collection

stsadm -o activatefeature -url -filename ViewFormPagesLockDown\feature.xml
