Abstract

A method for operating a web server implemented on a computer, wherein in a launch phase, a web server process ignores requests from clients and a further process having elevated permissions of the web server process is started by the web server process, where the further process serves to execute actions with access to a predefined operating system area, following the launch phase, the web server process transitions to normal operation such that when the web server process then receives a request requiring an action with access to the predefined operating system area, the permissibility of the received request is checked by the web server process and in the event of a permissible request, the web server process and the further process communicate, which prompts the further process to execute the action with the required access to the predefined operating system area.
