OWA Authentication

Try Changing you setting in the security of iis

Hi,

is it your proxy server? Your client will know to bypass the proxy for normal EV activity but your Exchage server might not.

Do the 2 authentication dialog boxes have fdifferent server names in the tile bar?

I don't think its the proxy as I've used proxycfg to make sure that the front end exchange server will go direct.

The dialog box shows as being from the front end server, but it says "Enterprise Vault" just above the username and password fields.

When I use OWA on the back end exchange server I'm not prompted to authenticate to open archived items.

I'm assuming that this can be made to work..!

Paul,

aha, you have a front end... have you configured Intergrated Windows Authentication as per page 103 of the manual?

I have re-run the configuration program and this completes OK (I've checked the log). I still have the same issue.

Do I need to tweak the ISS virtual directory security settings?

Not sure I'm gonna be much help. Why are you using a front end? Is it in a DMZ or something? Have you set the Default Domain on the Basic Authentication tab on IIS?

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried modifying the security properties for the virtual directory in IIS on the front end server, but had no joy.

In my desperation I've emailed support!

Best of luck with support Paul! Please you let us know what they come up with. The fact that you have to authenticate on the OWA server initially may be connected perhaps?

I abandoned front-end Exchange servers when I moved the platform to 2003 (we don't allow users to connect throught the internet so any OWA can be done on the back-ends) so I'm not much help (ok, no help at all!) I'm afraid.

I still have a few Exchange 2000 front ends and the only unusual thing I can remember that I did to them was that default domain thingy.

We only have a few hundred users connected via OWA (no Outlook client, no software distribution, thru a NATed firewall) and I suspect they have a pretty miserable time of it already so I can't really face foisting EV on them as well ;-)
