Second Gareth Howells point - it would be great for this page to be kept updated with build numbers for CRM Online as well. For example .3379 anyone? - what client UR should a customer be running against that - 12 or 13?

re: Using Fiddler To Check For Kerberos Auth

Travis — Mon, 20 May 2013 21:58:39 GMT

I have had various occasions when having Fiddler on changes the way Kerberos is functioning ...

For instance, with Fiddler open it looks like Internet Explorer is sending a Kerberos ticket with every request, even after AuthPersistNonNTLM is set ... in fact with Fiddler open it does do that. But with Fiddler closed, it does not.

I was able to verify this with a "netsh trace" both with Fiddler open and again with it closed.

Also in some scenarios Kerberos outright fails when Fiddler is running, but works otherwise. Again verified with a "netsh trace"

All of these problems were with IE... chrome didn't seem to care if Fiddler was running or not.

I guess it has something to do with how Fiddler inserts itself as a proxy. Not sure why IE is the only one that cares. Anyway your users might want to double check "kerberos failures" using a less intrusive system. Just thought I'd mention it ...

I have the same question as Alex. Why does SSL improve the compression rate so much? Usually SSL adds overhead.
