How are you doing the refresh? If you have credentials in the URL, it
should work each time.

Lee.

Because I didn't want to set up a webserver, the file is hosted on our
FTP
server. The refresh is done in HTML (<meta
content="60;URL=ftp://username:password@FTPserver/folder/file.htm";
http-equiv="refresh" />), which basically tells the file to reload
itself
after 60 seconds (right now).

In the same HTML file we load the calendar into an iframe: <iframe
id="calendar" src="http://username:password@mailserver/exchange/name
meetingroom/calendar/?cmd=content&f=calendar&view=daily"
scrolling="no"></iframe>

So now I'm wondering if there's no way to make said calendar accessible
to
unauthenticated users. That way there shouldn't be any problem
whatsoever...

I've never use ftp:// in a meta refresh tag like that. Does
ftp://username:password@FTPserver/folder/file.htm
actually show a web page in your browser. I guess it should, since it
probably doesn't care how it gets the file. You may be able to do it if
your calendar was in a public folder, but even then, I don't think OWA
will
allow it.

Is there a reason you can't host the original .htm file (the one you are
getting via ftp) on the default web site of your Exchange server?

Getting the page to show from an FTP server is indeed no problem at all.
Like you said, showing the OWA page of a public folder calendar might
prove
to be difficult. That's why I went with a user per meeting room.

I put the file on our FTP server because I didn't want to provide access
to
our Exchange Server (also Domain Controller) for the person who
occasionally
needs to update these HTML files.

Just now I discovered something. When I put the username and password in
the URL of the iframe, the calendar loads correctly, but starting from the
first refresh, I need to enter my credentials each time. When I don't put
the credentials in the URL, I need to provide them the first time, but I
don't need to enter them again when the page refreshes... Strange...

I thought you already had the credentials in the IFRAME src? They seem to
be there in a previous post. Anyway, once you have entered your
credentials, the browser will remember them, so it shouldn't ask you again.
I think it would help to look at your IIS log file, and see what is causing
the first logon prompt. Maybe you need a domain in your credentials, too,
if it's not correctly specified on the Exchange VDir in IIS.
