Hi all,

hi syfan,
i did a little testing in my lab and what you're seeing is realted to the fact that the EnterpriseVault virtual directory in IIS uses windows authentication. If you disable windows auth and only allow basic (leave ASP.net as is) you'll see that AE will prompt you for credentials and you'll be able to access the page. However, disabling this is not suggested and will cause the rest of your users that log in to their own computers to be prompted for credentials all the time and come hunt you down.

It's not that common but it may happen when shared PCs are used. In all cases, the specific users access their mailbox and try to access their archives through OWA (by giving their credentials), they do not try to access someone else's mailbox/archive.
We have the issue in 2 separate environments
1) EV 8.0.4 on Win 2003 R2 & Exchange/OWA 2007
2) Ev 9.0.2 on Win 2008 R2 & Exchange/OWA 2007
In both cases, OWA 2007 uses forms based authentication & the issue appears for OWA premium.
Although AE prompts the user for credentials (and the user enters his credentials correctly), he is getting the wrong archive. The user have logged on in OWA and access his mailbox just fine (from another user's Windows session/profile) but when he tries to access AE through OWA he's getting the wrong archive.
I will also enable OWA logging for results.
thank you
