Re: Exchange 2003 OWA front page

  Hi all

  They say the devil is in the detail and it certainly was here. It turned out 
that the forms based authentication tab had somehow become de-selected in the 
Exchnage system manger. Once I selected this all was fine. Thanks for your help 
anyway.

  Apologies for any inconvenience and for those of you not working on monday 
have a good bank holiday.

  Regards,

  Paul Lemonidis.

    What are you using for the URL?  Sounds like your IIS config is not correct 
if you get prompted prior to getting a web form.  To get to the form, you need 
to have anonymous SSL access to that page.  From there, you would have to 
authenticate.

    Hi All

    Further to my post I forgot to say. I have enabled  forms based 
autenticationas as in the relavant part of TechNet article 830827. It has made 
no differnece. Could this be a firewall issue?

    I am just totally stumped now. Any help gratefully recieved.

    Regards,

    Paul Lemondis.

      Hi all

      I think I know the answer to this but just need to know if I am correct 
and what to do if I am. I am guessing and I must admit it is a guess at this 
stage that this is something to do with forms based authentication.

      I have setup a test Windows\Exchange 2003 box on a test network behind a 
different firewall to our normal network (the test firewall is a Watchguard 
Soho box) with an MX record pointing to an address in our external subnet which 
is duly assigned as the external address of the SOHO box. Hence the test box 
can send and receive mail fine on its test MX record. 

      All the changes for full SSL based CA web access have been implemented. 
The OWA interface works with one exception. Instead of getting the nice 
Exchange 2003 page when I first go to the site I just get a logon box and 
nothing else as in Exchange 5.5. After logging on all is fine. What, if 
anything, have I done wrong and how can I correct this please?

      Many thanks in advance.

      Regards,

      Paul Lemonidis.
