The new behavior is incompatible with the previous behavior. Tickets that are generated by using the new behavior cannot be read by servers that use the old behavior, and vice versa. Therefore, because of the ticket behavior change, administrators whose applications use forms authentication must take specific steps when they deploy the security updates offered in bulletin MS11-100 to make sure that all servers switch to the new behavior concurrently. <br /><br />For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:<br /><div><a href=“https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2659968”>2659968 </a> Deployment guidance for security update 2638420, as described in MS11-100<br /></div>The following articles contain additional information about this security update as it relates to individual product versions.
