well.

This is really an A/D question, not an Exchange question. Exchange uses the
built-in capabilities of A/D-IIS. I think you'll probably get a better
response from the activedir mailing list.

(I could be wrong, and somewhere here knows the answer, but I don't think
so.)

Ah... I see that you also posted the same question there already.

Hi,
 
Can anyone help me to confirm whether the following flow of kerberos
authentication for OWA 2003 is correct ? I can only In the directory
security tab, I only enabled integrated windows authentication for exchange
web site.
 
Let's say there are 3 parties involved:
- AD (in windows 2000 server)
- Exchange Server 2003
- Windows XP as a testing client
The three machines are in the same windows domain
 
Since IE that user uses to access his/her mailbox and  IIS in exchange
server are all kerberized, when a user tries to open the owa website, first
of all, he / she will need to authenticate him / herself to the exchange
webserver using kerberos. This is done by getting a ticket for the webserver
from KDC. On behalf of the user, the web server will then send TGS-REQ to
windows kdc to get a ticket for ldap service. The ldap service ticket is
used as GSSAPI in ldap-request from exchange to AD to get information about
the user mail account.
 
Briefly, this is what happens:
1. AS-REQ from user to tgs service to get a tgt 2. AS-REP from tgs service
3. TGS-REQ from user to get a ticket for service http service of the web
server 4. TGS-REP from tgs service 5. TGS-REQ from web server for service
ldap to access AD 6. TGS-REP from tgs service which contains a ticket for
service ldap 7. ldap request to get user account info like the mailbox
location etc.
The ticket for service ldap is used as GSSAPI token for ldap authentication.
 
It's really important for me to understand how the flow of kerberos actually
works for owa 2003....can anybody share his / her ideas ?
 
thanks
