OWA log on form 1

[Jovix]

I want to know if it's possible to setup a webpage with a form that will log you into Outlook Web Access. In other words I don't want to use the traditional pop-up OWA log on window. I would like it to seamlessly fit into my companies webpage.

Hello,

If you are using exch2003, it is extremely easy to write your own. You do have to run all of your credentials through their owaauth.dll (<form action=

https://exchserver.domain.com/exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll

method=post>).

Although, writing your own from scratch might be a bit hasty IMHO. They provide you with logon.asp (c:/program files/exchsrvr/exchweb/bin/auth/usa/ (if you are in another country, there are other options). This file is what is used for Microsoft's forms based authentication (

).

Hopefully this proves useful.

Assuming your using EX2K3, do some research into FORMS BASED AUTHENTICATION, this will provide you a hotmail like frontend to login into rather than the dialog box pop up.
It requires SSL but you'd be mad to provide this service to your users without it.

It's simple to enable and you can customise the login page if required.
