Re: OWA login problems

You should always be able to log in with DOMAIN\USERNAME . You can log in
with USERNAME only if the Default Authentication Domain is correctly set in
IIS Manager (which it usually is by default), but there is no reason that
actually supplying the domain name even when it isn't needed should break
the login.

But anyway, since just using USERNAME works from the desktop, this indicates
that the auth domain is correctly set. Maybe one of the authentication
mechanisms is broken at the server end. Do you see anything written to any
of the server's Event Logs when the login fails?

No I did not. I have been logging in as just username which is the way
that I
login from any desktop. In fact, I cannot login using DOMAIN\USERNAME
from a
desktop. Any idea why that is?

I will try logging in as DOMAIN\USERNAME when I leave the office later.

Lee,

This seems to work only if I am connected via my local Wi-Fi. If I
connect
through someone else's Wi-Fi, it just keeps prompting me for username
and
password. Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Greg

Can you give detailed steps on how to check your suggestions since
I'm
a
newbie?

How to check which authentication schemes are configured in Exchange
System
Manager?
How to make sure that the Exchange Virtual Directory has both
Integrated
and
Basic Auth enabled?
How to make sure that the Exchweb VDir has anonymous access enabled?

Thanks,
Greg

I am running Exch 2003 and am trying to login to OWA from my
mobile
device
running Windows Mobile 5.0 using the Wi-Fi connection of the
device.
When
prompted to enter my username and password, I enter the correct
information
and then it returns the same login prompt. This continues in a
continuous
loop. I have tried this on 2 different devices with the same
result.
I
don't have any problems logging in from regular computers
(desktops
or
laptops). Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Greg

I'd suggest checking which authentication schemes are configured in
Exchange
System Manager. Make sure that the Exchange Virtual Directory has
both
Integrated and Basic Auth enabled. And that the Exchweb VDir has
anonymous
access enabled.
