Hi Jim,

OK, good. I haven't test out the scenario yet. I'll have to get the
hotfix first, and then run it. 

So, the fix just breaks basic over HTTP, which isn't a big deal. I can't
even blame my misunderstanding on the wording of the KB, because now
that I read it again, its clear:

"This hotfix permits you to control whether ISA Server requests Basic
authentication for *non-secure* incoming HTTP Web requests. If you want
ISA Server to request Basic authentication on non-secure connections,
add the following registry key"

Maybe they could put the "non-secure" entry in italics for goofballs
like me :-)

Thanks!
Tom

No; absotively, posilutely not.
Basic delegation is alive and well.
What's forever broken (and labeled as officially unsupported henceforce)
is Basic over HTTP for any WPR on that server if the regkey is set.

Are you saying that it broke delegation for you?
I didn't see that in my testing...

Hi Jim,

So, just to confirm that I have this right.

Scenaro:

1. Install Feature Pack 1

2. Configure OWA Web Publishing Rule - Require SSL for the connection in
the Web Publishing Rule

3. Configure the Web Publishing Rule to allow delegation of basic
authentication credentials

Result:
Basic credentials are protected by SSL if the request is entered correct
as HTTPS
Basic credentials are NOT protected by SSL if users messes up and enters
HTTP

4. Install Hotfix and configure the Registry per KB article

Result:
Breaks the cool delegation of basic credentials feature.

There has to be a more elegant way to solve this problem, such as a
redirect when they type http instead of https?

Thanks!
Tom

Remember, too; once you set this, you can't use ANY web publishing rules
with basic credentials if the request comes in over HTTP.
Believe it or not, that was actually a request.
