All,
I have two separate implementations of Exchange 2013/Server 2012 posting the same issue. When logging into ECP, the login page is displayed correctly. The url is shown correctly (edited for security).
https://localhost/ecp/?ExchClientVer=15; Accept the cetificate mismatch warning, go to the EAC login page,
https://localhost/owa/auth/logon.aspx?replaceCurrent=1&url=https%3a%2f%2flocalhost%2fecp%2f%3fExchClientVer%3d15 .
Note that OWA handles the authentication (https://localhost/owa/auth/logon.aspx) but redirects the authentication results back to the ECP page (?replaceCurrent=1&url=https%3a%2f%2flocalhost%2fecp%2f%3fExchClientVer%3d15). When the credentials are entered, the user is authenticated correctly but the redirect does not process and the user is logged into the OWA page (https://mail.domain.net/owa/#path=/mail). Also note that the primary address is changed from localhost to the public url for OWA.
In each instance, there are other Exchange servers that login correctly to ECP. The other servers are dedicated CAS role where the servers having the issue are all in one servers. I suspect this is an IIS issue but I would appreciate any input.
