Hi there I am facing a problem in Exchange Server 2003. I am running it on Windows Server 2003 & OWA (mostly) from IE6, I ve set Premium Logon Page of OWA butwhile I first time start OWA from my Explorer or any other browser it shows me popup window to login. When i go to System Manager to again set the Premium Page i find the option Enable Formes Based Authentication is enable, then after it I ve to again restart my IIS, even if i have started my pc/server first time. I think i ve to make some configuration at registries but i dont know what it is, Pls suggest me any solution for this problem. Thanks

Hi,If the FBA (Forms Based Authentication) is enabled from ESM then to get the FBA page, you would need to access OWA on https and not on http.As FBA works with SSL (recommended). You can make FBA work on http too but thats not recommended.http://www.petri.co.il/using_fba_without_ssl.htmAlso make sure that you have a valid certificate and your FBA should work fineCheck out this artilce to configure FBA for Exchange 2003.http://www.petri.co.il/configuring_forms_based_authentication_in_exchange_2003.htmHarpreet Singh Khandiyal (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375)

In order to enable FBA Certificate is must. Do you have certificate installed for exchange? also take a look @ below article provided by HarpreetVinod |CCNA|MCSE 2003 +Messaging|MCTS|ITIL V3|
