RE: Changing SSL Port of OWA 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Gustavo,

I've been having a lot of problems with OWA on Exchange 2003 returning "You
are not authorized..." errors, in addition to all the problems with the
redirect from
http://owa.company.com to https://owa.company.com/exchange

I've tried several different solutions, but NONE of them are complete.
Here is what
I have so far:

In my Default Website I have a redirect.htm file which is at the top of my
document list. The properties of that redirect.htm file tell the server to
redirect to a URL, "/Exchange". I've tried changing that to
"https://owa.company.com/Exchange";, but that doesn't work, so it's just
"/Exchange"

I also created a folder inside C:\inetpub\wwwroot and called it OWAASP. I
then copied and pasted an owaasp.asp script file which contains:
<%
If Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_PORT")=80 Then
Dim strSecureURL
strSecureURL = "https://";
strSecureURL = strSecureURL & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
strSecureURL = strSecureURL & "/exchange"
Response.Redirect strSecureURL
End If
%>

I then adjusted the custom errors for 403;4 to point to that owaasp.asp
file. (when a user gets error 403;4 they get the file instead).

Still no luck!!! I tried another asp script:

<%
response.redirect "https://owa.company.com/exchange";
%>

NO GOOD!!! This is a real PAIN!!

Can you post your script, or more details about your configuration? I have
been messing with this for 2 days.

Thanks,
