Re: OWA logon

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Your E2007 OWA users should, in theory, go direct to http://servername/owa .
There is still the option of going to http://servername/exchange , and being
automatically redirected; but as you've discovered, this luxury sometimes
causes unwanted side effects. If you don't want to tell all your E2007
users to start going direct to http://servername/owa , you will need to go
into the Exchange console, and verify that exactly the same authentication
settings are configured for both the Exchange and the OWA Virtual
Directories.

Thanks for looking into it. There are two 401 responses that I can see.
Here
is what is in the logfile:

GET /exchange - 80 - ClientIPAddress 401
GET /exchange - 80 domain\username ClientIPAddress 302
GET /OWA/ - 80 - ClientIPAddress 401

ClientIPAddress is the IP of the remote host, domain is the name of our
domain and username is the logon name of the user. But I still don't know
what to make out of it.

We have Exchange 2007 and use OWA for remote access without SSL
Certificate.
When trying to access http://domain/exchange a message box pops up
asking
for
a username and password. Once this is completed a second message box is
comming up asking for username and password for the second time. Is
there
any
way to avoid the second box?

Have a look at your IIS log files, and see if you can tell which resource
is
requesting the additional logon. The will be indicated by a repeated 401
response after the 401/200 response to the request for /Exchange.
