DTC - Security Risk?

Rick

2006-03-15, 8:23 pm

We have a need to use DTC with a new application. This will be on internal
only SQL Servers on a cluster. We are trying to convince the network guys to
turn DTC on for us, but they are concerned with security which is a good
thing, but in this case we have a big need to get this resolved quickly. Can
anyone point me to any information related to DTC security risks (google
doesn't turn up anything relevant) except the new settings in Win 2003 SP1.

The big question is, what risks are there on internal systems using DTC and
if there are risks, what can be done to mitigate them? "Mutual
Authentication Required" is not an option since the server is clustered.

Any help would be appreciated. I need to resolve this soon.
