Why is OAB downloading working? It shouldn't be... - 30.May2008 8:02:31 AM

I'm successfuly downloading the OAB, but I don't think I should be able to:

New OAB called "E12 Default Offline Address book"
Assigned this new OAB as the Default for the Mailbox store on my test E12 server
Mailbox for test client is moved to that store
The OAB is set for every Outlook client, Web-based distribution & Public Folder distribution
My test client (me) is at home on Outlook 2007
I'm using Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTPS), I'm notVPN'd in
All internal and external URL's have been defined in the various places (Outlook Anywhere, OWA, OAB, etc.)
I used the Test Network... thing and I got all the URL's I thought I was supposed to for OOF, OAB, etc.
I made a change to the GAL yesterday
I checked, change was not reflected on my client
I manually (Send Receive-->Download Address Book)
I got the changes

What's got me puzzled is that I just noticed that my /OAB virtual directory is set to "Windows Integrated Authentication" only. No Basic, no Anonymous.

Since I'm using a generic, non-SMB-aware firewall (SonicWall) that doesn't transfer any Windows auth messages... how did I download the address book?

Did it fallback to the Public Folders?
