hosted Exchange (USA.net) and Entourage 2008

[Caleb Clauset]

Is anyone else using hosted Exchange service through USA.net? I just
upgraded to Entourage 2008 from 2004 (no problems with the upgrading of my
database), but now I have to authenticate multiple times before Entourage is
able to establish a connection. If I immediately respond to each request to
re-enter my domain, username and password it may take many attempts before
it finally connects. If I'm slow in between attempts, it takes fewer (but
never ever succeeds from my saved Keychain password).

Not sure if it's related, but this is quite similar to the multiple login
requests when I attempt to connect to the OWA service using Safari (Mac OS X
10.5.1).

I'm wondering if this is related to my performing an erase and install of
Mac OS X 10.5.1 on my MBP and the "Warning: accessing obsolete X509Anchors"
messages I receive in my console.log when Entourage 2008 fails to
authenticate. Is there any way to get more information about communication
between Entourage 2008 and my hosted Exchange server to try to resolve these
difficulties?

ciao,
Caleb

I'm getting the same issue with a hosted Exchange service from Cobweb
here in the UK, only started after upgrading to 2008. I don't get
multiple login issues with OWA though.

Any info would be appreciated!
