6041.0. "WNT domain security" by TPOVC::SIMONLEE () Mon May 26 1997 09:44
It seems nobody asked questions of this sort. If you think my question is
stupid, please forgive me.
In a windows NT domain, there is a windows NT server (neither PDC nor
BDC). If I have a local account on the server and I have a domain
account with the same username and password as that local account, when
I logon to the server, I get the same access privilege to the domain as
if I have logon to the domain. Is this intensionally designed to be so,
or is it a security hole? If it is normal, it implys that you
automatically logon to domain when you logon to the server. It is in
many cases not desirable. Can anybody give comments and give me correct
information about the MS domain design philosophy? Thanks!

| This is intentional.
If it's not desirable, use a different password.

| The behaviour you see is intentional. If you don't want it, use different
passwords and/or usernames for the account(s). Microsoft is assuming that if the
two accounts have exactly the same username and password, then it must be the
same person.
