OWA not working :(

[FN-GM]

Hi guys

Got exchange up and running! OWA is another story.

 

I can get into OWA via this link https://owa.fleming-network.co.uk/exchange

 

But I would rather have this posh page https://owa.fleming-network.co.uk/exchweb/bin/auth/usa/logon.asp

 

When I try to login on that page I get the following error HTTP 500 The website cannot display the page. I can’t seem to get to the owaauth.dll file. I have checked the permissions on that file they are the same as the logon.asp

 

Any idea please?

 

Cheers

I can’t seem to get to the owaauth.dll file.

I'm probably missing the point here but if you enter dummy data when logging in then you're taken to https://owa.fleming-network.co.uk/exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll so there is nothing wrong with that file?

when i use a correct username and password it does it

Cant remember how I did it - you need to set the redirect in IIS to be the root of your owa site (or some like that)

do you not need a certificate server?

[FN-GM]

I have setup the server as a standalone certificate server. Notice it is on a Https address and the lock is there.

Try msexchange.org

 

The tutorials are really good and the forum has loads of answers amongst the crap.

 

Its been really useful to me doing 2007, which I haven't finished yet as the ex2007 iso I downloaded at school was corrupt and its 5.5Gb which takes quite a while on out 1Mb link.

Could this be a solution?

Can i compare someone else’s security permissions on a OWA that works please?

 

Thanks

Have you turned on 'forms authentication' in Exchange?? This should make the web based logon page the default. see mine at https://www.nbc.medway.sch.uk/exchange

 

If you look at the URL it's a totally diffeent construction to yours, so chances are unless forms authentication is switched on, the logon form won't actually work.

 

See following article for more information; http://www.petri.co.il/configuring_forms_based_authentication_in_exchange_2003.htm

No problem, made the same mistake myself when setting up our exchange server!
