"multiple prompts" as in multiple auth popups or multiple FBA pages?
If you're getting multiple popups, then you need to examine your delegation
settings and the OWA site auth configuration.
If you're getting multiple FBA pages, make sure they're different (one from
ISA; another from OWA). If you get different pages, this is a common
misconfiguration (ISA can't "chain" to FBA).
You'll have to choose where you want FBA; at ISA or OWA.

Subject: [isapros] OWA Multiple promts
***for those following along I rekeyed the certificate, installed into IIS,
exported with key, imported into ISA server and all is well. Hoops all jumped.
However, my OWA site is prompting multiple times. L I have an ISA 2006 server
and it is now protecting an SBS 2008 server. It was previously protecting an
SBS 2003 server (as a separate box not on it) and my OWA rules were working.
But we've gone from SBS 2003 w/ Exchange 2003 to SBS 2008 w/ Exchange 2007 and
it now I'm getting multiple prompts. If you follow through with the prompts
then you can access email and it works. I need to get rid of those extra
prompts. Since I only know Exchange 2007 and IIS 7 marginally at this point, I
could use some pointers.
In SBS land, we log onto RWW. Then Choose read email. Read email brings up OWA
and you log into your email. These are all of the prompts we are supposed to
see.
Here what's happening.
1. Log into RWW
2. Select Read Email
3. A new window launches for https://remote.domain.com/owa and a box that
says the server remote.domain.com requires me to login.
4. Once I login my email opens.
5. Click New to send an email and the pop box reappears asking me to
login again.
6. Once I login I can create and send a new email.
Obviously Monday morning the users are going to shoot me if they have to keep
logging in over and over again.
Also of note on the ISA server when I first created the owa rule (following
along in Tom's excellent and lengthy article series) my rule fails telling me
that forms based authentication is enabled on the server and I should change
the authentication delegation type to no delegation but client may authenticate
directly. So I did that, but I apparently lose the pretty blue OWA login window
when I do. I could live with that but if there's a way to solve the multiple
prompts and get that back, I would like to. Of note forms based authentication
isn't enabled directly on the OWA site but rather above it on the RWW site.
thanks,
