  • Have you properly configured the EV server to use https on the site properties? You should be able to configure the https in the OWA web.config

  • This is a security prompt through IE, not an EV thing.  If you want to disable this, see the following article:

    Hope this helps.

  • i could be wrong but isnt the question why is pulling from http at all when it should be https?

  • Here is another link for the web.config settings if you are using Exchange 2010:

    Enterprise Vault 9.0 Web.config options for Microsoft Exchange 2010 Outlook Web Access (OWA)

    The web.config settings should be the same regardless of EV 9 or 10.

  • I think this is related to the setting up of the ExternalWebAppURL.  The Policy is set to <https> however if the CAS being connected to does not have one of the following configured, it will still default to using the Internal address to the EV server, which by default would be http:

    <add key="EnterpriseVault_UseExternalWebAppUrl" value="true"/>

    - All requests to use the WebApp URL will use the External Web Application URL setting for Proxy

    or

    <add key="EnterpriseVault_ExternalHostNames" value="owa.mydomain.local"/>

    - only WebApp requests from these host names will use the External Web Application URL setting for Proxy

    or

    <add key="EnterpriseVault_ExternalIPAddresses" value="192.168.0.5;192.168.0.103"/>

    - only WebApp requests from these IP Addresses (commonly the IPs of the Firewall) will use the External Web Application URL setting for Proxy

    Here are a few articles that will help:

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH60712
    Enterprise Vault 2007, 8.0, and 9.0 Web.config options for Microsoft Exchange 2007 Outlook Web Access (OWA)

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH141519
    Symantec Enterprise Vault Outlook Web Access (OWA) Internal and External WebApp URLs

    On a side, make sure you have a rule setup in your Firewall/ISA server to redirect the external URL to the Internal URL.  You can actually test this outside of OWA by opening IE, and attempting to go to the external address setup (Ex. https:\\owa.domain.com\enterprisevault\) if the rule is functioning, you should be prompted for credentials and it should open the main web app page where you can go to Search.

    Hope this helps!

  • Thanks guys.
