I don't think you need to worry about ISA caching SSL content for
forward caching ;)

        Hi Jim,

         

        That does make sense about the caching, and yes the sites we
noticed this on were non-SSL, thankfully (bit worried if someone saw my
bank account due to heavy caching).

         

        If I get a chance I will see if I can capture some data, and it
check out.

         

        Thanks for your help.

         

        Regards,

        ISA doesn't have the ability to separate cache content on a
"per-user" basis.

        If you set ISA to cache everything in sight, you'll get exactly
that.

        Plus, it also depends on how the site delivers the content.

        Don't assume that the web site actually sets a cookie "properly
using a set-cookie header; many in fact, simply send data that the web
app itself manages.

         

        Try to get captures of this process and you'll be able to see
for certain (assuming it's not SSL).

        http://www.ISAserver.org

        Hi all,

         

        I seem to have found a possible security problem with ISA2000.

         

        Our setup includes a route to an upstream ISA2000 to our head
office and the last route to a DSL Connection. 

         

        If we use the default route rule caching options everything
works fine, however if we use the cache option 'any version, of the
object' instead of default option 'A valid version of the object' we
find that users can inadvertently hijack what seems to be another users
cookie/web session.

         

        To explain this a bit clearer, if user 1 logs onto his personal
webmail or online trading account and maybe disconnects rather than
logging off?. 

        User 2 logs onto there own personal webmail or trading site
using their own logon details from the same website (even on a separate
computer), it will display users 1 emails and personal information as if
you were actually logged on as user 1, any ability to change and delete
settings seems to only affect your account, but you can read and
download anything from user 1.

         

         

        Anyone explain this?

         

         

         

        Regards,
