OWA / IIS

[Andy Smith]

Hi there,

Got a bit of a funny one here...

When people access OWA using the link on our website (http://<domain>/owa),
it prompts for their credentials, and lets them in. However, when they then
click Publc Folders, it asks them for their credentials again, but doesn't
accept anything - even in the DOMAIN\Username format!

It also prompts for credentials if they click logoff, when clicking a link
that points to http://<domain>/owa

Yet, if they manually type in the address into the address bar in IE,
everything works OK.

So it would seem that OWA doesn't like http referrals!

On /owa I have IWA turned OFF, and basic turned ON

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much/...

When you turned of IWA in IIS, did you do this for both virtual folders
(exchange & public)?

By the way... I noticed you mentioning "/owa" for a virtual folder. Are you
running a custom HTTP virtual server?

 

[Andy Smith]

Yes and Yes.

We wanted to have '/exchange' for internal use with IWA turned on, and
'/owa' for external use, as with IWA on, external users just get stuck in a
continuous Credentials prompt.

As said, this only happens if they click the link to http://<domain>/owa. If
they manually type in the address in the address bar, it all works fine!!

Thanks/...

does "<domain>" match the name of your server? (thinking about kerberos
security and service principle names)

 

[Andy Smith]

No!

The public name is mail.aylesford.kent.sch.uk, but the internal server name
is MAIL (FQDN = mail.aylesford.local).

Our ISP has setup redirecting rules so that any requests sent to that public
name, are redirected to an internal IP address, which our exchange server is
configured with.

Thanks/...
