You are a lifesaver!  On with my test migration.

Disable FBA in Exchange, then run IISRESET from a command prompt.

Back in Exchange, enable FBA again and run IISRESET once more. That
should give you the login page.

Thanks Simon, generating a self signed cert solved my SSL issue.
However when I go to https://owa.econalive.com/exchange, it doesn't
redirect me to the logon page.  I just keep getting prompted to
authenticate to get into the mailbox.  What happened to the
owalogon.asp page?

 

Anyways, I can live with this in my test environment but I wonder what I
did wrong or didn't do?

There is no switch for SSL, you can't turn it on an off. 

You have two options only. 

1.       The certificate installed on the web server (or not)

2.       The setting require SSL enabled or not. 

 

However option 2 doesn't stop SSL from working. It simply means that IIS
will send back an error if SSL isn't used. 
With Exchange 2003 enabling this option can cause problems with
ActiveSync. 

 

What have you done for an SSL certificate? You need to generate one
somehow. If you have, it could be a bad certificate. If you haven't,
then install the IIS Reskit and use the selfssl tool to generate a
self-signed certificate:

 

selfssl /n:cn=host.example.com

 

You will get SSL warnings but in a test lab that is fine.

Ok, so I'm just having a bunch of problems at the moment.  

 

When I enable SSL, I keep getting the a page not found or interrupted
error.

With SSL disabled, I get authentication required at
http://owa.econalive.com 

 

I have FBA enabled now for the https protocol for my FE server.

 

What am I doing wrong?  I just want the landing page of OWA to come
up...  At the moment I do not care about SSL since it is just a test lab
for me.  I've been at this for a week with no progress.  Any help is
appreciated.  Google has not been doing it for me.  I need some expert
advice J.

You also need an SSL certificate. 

FBA isn't available on HTTP only by default (I think there is a hack,
but I can't remember it). 

 

Why did you enable anonymous access? You shouldn't have that enabled
either.

You have to enable FBA in the settings for the HTTP protocol in ESM.

Hi All,

 

So Exchange 2003 has been setup in my test lab.  I'm working on getting
OWA to work now but having some issues.  I enabled Anonymous access,
unchecked integrated authentication in IIS, enabled basic
authentication.  Now when I go to http://localhost/exchange, I get a an
authentication window.  How do I get the default login page to come up
for OWA?

 

Do I need to do anything special with the permissions to get this to
work>

 

Jimmy
