Turns out to be a bit more complicated than that. But it is relevant to a
couple of pretty specific configurations.

HTTP connection re-use with ISA seems to be where the randomness comes from,
and the authentication/access error comes from Kerberos being disabled when
Sharepoint gets installed.

>From another group, again:

Here is a workaround posted in SBS newsgroup by Chad A Gross [SBS-MVP]
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=832749 that apparently fixes the problem.

There is another issue if you have Exchange 2003 + Sharepoint Services 2003
+ Windows Server 2003 installed on the same machine. Apparently Kerberos
auth protocol gets turned off on IIS. Workaround is documented in
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=832769

Al,

I think you missed the key point in the message - the sarcasm over the
entire issue.  I had hoped that the raging, stupid statement about 'a huge,
gaping..' blah, blah and the Dennis Miller quip tipped everyone off to my
wry humor.

Pardons if I led you astray.  Personally, and truthfully, I think it's a
crock that has been blown way out of proportion by a media that is always
looking for the sensational and found it in a completely difficult to
reproduce, if at all, unsupported configuration.

Is it?  What are the details that surround this "flaw" ?  The press release
says that he disabled Kerberos.  What are they talking about there in his
case?  He disabled it for IIS?  He disabled it for..?

How do the casual observers recreate the problem to verify if it's even an
issue to the rest of us commoners?

Steve,

Thanks for bringing this up.  I've known about this issue for a bit of time
(~5 days), and I think you're being kind saying it's a potential flaw.
IMNSHO, it's a really huge, gaping, festering wound that one could drive a
Peterbuilt through.

But, I could be wrong.....

I thought that the group might be interested in this.

The potential flaw lies in the Outlook Web Access (OWA) component of
Exchange Server 2003. A network administrator at a Nashville, Tenn.,
provider of investment performance reporting tools found that users logging
in to OWA could be logged in to another user's mailbox at random and have
full access privileges.
