in the configuration database. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 uses the default URL for<br />

any requested URL that is not found in the mapping table. Also, you cannot delete<br />

entries for virtual servers that currently host portal sites or document libraries.<br />

Caution If an entry has been deleted but URLs for that mapping ID still<br />

exist in the index, those results will be displayed with a message stating<br />

that the content is not currently accessible. The server farm administrator<br />

will have to update the content index in order to update the URLs.<br />

Creating Additional Application Pools<br />

Windows SharePoint Services allows you to create application pools <strong>and</strong> associate<br />

them with separate virtual servers. By creating new application pools <strong>and</strong> assigning<br />

websites <strong>and</strong> applications to them, you can isolate portal sites <strong>and</strong> help enhance<br />

security between them while maintaining the availability of your other applications.<br />

Figure 17-13 shows how an additional application pool is created from within the IIS<br />

administration tool.<br />

Figure 17-13 Creating an additional application pool<br />

An application pool is a configuration in IIS that links one or more applications<br />

to a set of one or more worker processes. Because worker process boundaries separate<br />

applications in an application pool from other applications, problems caused<br />

by applications in one application pool do not affect applications in another application<br />

pool. For example:<br />

■ If one application pool identity is compromised <strong>and</strong> SharePoint Portal Server 2003<br />

uses only one application pool, the administrator must disable all portal sites<br />

on the server. However, if the server farm administrator creates an application<br />

pool for each portal site <strong>and</strong> uses different application pool identities, the<br />

compromise of one application pool identity affects only one portal site, not all<br />

portal sites. Companies that provide SharePoint Portal Server services to other
