We are using forms-based authentication for OWA to accomodate some users.
But Macintosh users cannot change their password with it, even though they
can log in to OWA. The error message they get is Error -2147024773. They
tried Safari, which, according to some posts I have seen, IS supposed to
work. I know that IE won't work for changing passwords (and it doesn't) - it
broke starting with E2K, SP4. So just what is the solution for Mac users
changing their passwords? They never log into AD - they just use mail, so
OWA seemed to be the best way to handle it.
