Wctx parameter change
This security update changes the contents of the wctx parameter. The wctx parameter is an optional query string parameter for the HTTP 1.1 methods GET and POST. It is an opaque value. Therefore, applications should not assume any value for it. Applications that assume any value for the wctx parameter may be affected by this update.
The contents of the wctx parameter are available in cookies on client computers.
The WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile standard defines this parameter as follows:
Wctx: This optional parameter is an opaque context value that must be returned with the issued token if it is passed in the request.
Username logging deprecation
After this security update is installed on Windows Server 2003-based systems, NT Token applications will not log user names in Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) logs on the Web server any longer.
The English (United States) version of this software update installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time and with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.
Windows Server 2003 file information
The files that apply to a specific milestone (RTM, SPn) and service branch (QFE, GDR) are noted in the "SP requirement" and "Service branch" columns.
GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. QFE service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
In addition to the files that are listed in these tables, this software update also installs an associated security catalog file (KBnumber.cat) that is signed with a Microsoft digital signature.

Service Pack 1 is integrated into the release version of Windows Server 2008. Therefore, RTM milestone files apply only to Windows Vista. RTM milestone files have a 6.0.0000.xxxxxx version number.
GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files (attributes not listed) are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
