Vadim,

I suggest we discuss this offline since there is no need to copy verybody at [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]

Anyway, we are already aware of the support in IE and IIS/ISA and its restrictions. 
Our product architecture supports proxy servers as well as non-proxy servers because 
we designed it to do so. We can also support ISA if needed.

Cheers, Tim.

Subject: Re: GSSAPI x Kerberos

Hi guys,
Tim, how are you? ;-)

 A couple of related notes: MSIE 5+ installed on Windows 2000+ domain member supports 
Kerberos protocol for INTEGRATED authentication. In addition, it supports NTLM, but 
Kerberos is a preferable method if noth the server and the client support it (the 
choice of the strongest available protocol is required by RFC 2617). In most cases, in 
order to work properly, "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" option should be 
turned on (check MS KB299838 for instructions). Such authentication works fine between 
MSIE and different Microsoft application services, supporting integrated 
authentication(e.g. IIS).
However pay attention - MSIE supports Kerberos authentication with remote application 
servers ONLY, while it doesn't work with proxy (by design, refer to MS KB321728. This 
is a huge disadvantage since many organizations have MS ISA proxy servers, and have to 
disable integrated authentication because Kerberos is not supported, and NTLM is not 
secured enough (in addition to the protocol itself, NTLM-based integrated 
authentication requires a lot of unsecured connections between ISA and Domain 
Controller, such as cleartext LDAP, RPC etc).
 Tim, a question to you - is it possible to use client-side WebAccess MSIE plugin in 
order to allow Kerberos-based authentication with ISA server?

  Hope it helps,
    Vadim
