Hello all,

I have an SBS 2000 server that remote clients log onto
via a VPN. There is one login and password that all of
them use. I have implemented a policy that only allows
them to go to one domain, and I have allowed them access
to Outlook Web Access.
Internet access works great, but there are problems when
they try to log onto OWA - it keeps prompting them for a
username and password while the mailbox loads in the
background. I know it has something to do with ISA
because if I tell Internet Explorer not to use the proxy,
it loads fine.
So, I tried creating an Internet Explorer shortcut that
points to the server internally (i.e.
http://myserver/exchange) and that works. However, it
does not prompt for a username and password to
differentiate between the users' mailboxes - it uses the
username and password that they all log on with.
I also tried changing the directory security in IIS for
the Exchange directory with unsuccessful results - even
if a prompt is given, it does not attach to the
username's inbox.

Could any of you give me an idea how we can access OWA on
the INTERNAL network and have it prompt us for a username
and password to log into individual mailboxes?

TIA !!!

Chas

yes, you give them their own VPN login account, not a shared one!

Hello Chas,

to create the opportunity to log in with an userid you can go for form based
authentication, or for basic authentication.
personaly i would go for the form based authentication.
you can find a description how to at this link
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/A_Logon_Screen_For_MS_Exchange_2000_Outlook_Web_Access.html

I hope this helps.

Mark,

I'd love to, but when you're dealing with *many* users who
have difficulty remembering how to log onto the network,
it's just plain easier this way. Especially since they are
doing the same job.
Interestingly enough, the same people who have this
difficulty are the ones who seem to be able to figure out
a loophole that allows them to go to unacceptable
sites.....

If that is my only option, I'll just have to do it.
Hopefully there is another way, though!

Thanks!

Chas

Kay,

Thank you very much for the link! I'm worried that it will
only point to the mailbox that the user *can* log into. I
don't think that it will let me choose a different user
mailbox and then give a prompt for the username/password.
Know what I mean? I just want it to act like it does when
a person accesses it from the "wild" side.

Thank you much!

Chas
