I am trying to call EWS service using jquery to send mail. I am getting access denied message. Please let me know if there are any suggestions.

   var soapMessage = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'
   + '<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"'
   + 'xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"'
   + 'xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"'
   + 'xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"'
   + 'xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages">'
   + '<soap:Header>'
    + '<RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2010_SP2" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" />'
   + '</soap:Header>'
   + '<soap:Body>'
    + '<m:CreateItem MessageDisposition="SendOnly">'
      + '<m:Items>'
       + ' <t:Message>'
       + '   <t:Subject>test</t:Subject>'
        + '  <t:Body BodyType="Text">test</t:Body>'
        + '  <t:ToRecipients>'
        + '    <t:Mailbox>'
        + '      <t:EmailAddress>myEmail@hotmail.com</t:EmailAddress>'
        + '    </t:Mailbox>'
        + '  </t:ToRecipients>'
        + '</t:Message>'
      + '</m:Items>'
     + '</m:CreateItem>'
     + '</soap:Body>'
   + '</soap:Envelope>';



        var ServiceUrl = 'https://serverName/EWS/Exchange.asmx';
        debugger;
                                                jQuery.support.cors = true;
                                                $.ajax({
                                                    url: ServiceUrl,
                                                type: "POST",
                                                dataType: "xml",
                                                data: soapMessage,
                                                contentType:"text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\"",
                                    success: processSuccess,
            error:processError
        });

        function processSuccess(data, status, req) {
            if (status == "success")
                alert("sucess");
        }

        function processError(data, status, req) {
            alert(data + " " + status);
        } 

All EWS requests need to be authenticated so you need to submit some credentials that have rights to the Mailbox your trying to send as. Depending on how the server is configured generally you should be able to just use Basic Auth however it may that you server only supports NTLM so you'll need to work out how to support that (or ask the admin to enable Basic Auth). Also see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn626019(v=exchg.150).aspx if you using 2013

Thanks for the message. I tried with credentials but still getting the same error message.

jQuery.support.cors = true;
                                                $.ajax({
                                                    url: ServiceUrl,
                                                 type: "POST",

                                                 username:test,

                                                 password:test, 

                                                 dataType: "xml",
                                                data: soapMessage,
                                                contentType:"text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\"",
                                    success: processSuccess,
            error:processError
        });

Also I tried passing the username and password in the SOAP header.

  + '<soap:Header>'
    + '<RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2010_SP2" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" />'
    +  '<wsse:Security>'
   + '<wsse:UsernameToken>'
   +   '<wsse:Username>test</wsse:Username>'
   +   '<wsse:Password>test</wsse:Password>'
   + '</wsse:UsernameToken>'
  + '</wsse:Security>'
   + '</soap:Header>'

I'd suggest you try a few EWS requests using the EWSEditor first http://ewseditor.codeplex.com/ you can use something like fiddler to look at the headers that are being used by this app.

They other thing I would try is using the Authorization header to send basic auth eg

$.ajax({
         url: ServiceUrl,
         type: "POST", 
         dataType: "xml", 
	 headers: {
    		"Authorization": "Basic " + btoa(USERNAME + ":" + PASSWORD)
         },
         data: soapMessage, 
         contentType:"text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\"",
         success: processSuccess, 
         error:processError
});

Hey anate,

I have the same problem. Did you finally manage to find a solution?

Thanks.

hello,

i have the same required, connect to EWS exchange with jquery, and my the problem is how send logn password and domain in headers .

thanks

what do you mean with "btoa" !!

thanks

EWS won't support CORS AFAIK (so any attempt to send a cross domain request will fail if your using OnPrem hosted within the same domain it should be okay) if your using Office365 you can use the new REST API's which will support CORS requests see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/mail-rest-operations

i'm using EWS exchange local in the company .

this is my code (doesn't work of course ) i have exactely the same mesasge "access denied":

                var soapPacket = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
'<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ' +
                'xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages" ' +
                'xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" ' +
                'xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">' +
           '<soap:Header>' +

             '<t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2010_SP2" />' +
           '</soap:Header>' +
           '<soap:Body>' +
             '<m:FindItem Traversal="Shallow">' +
               '<m:ItemShape>' +
                 '<t:BaseShape>IdOnly</t:BaseShape>' +
                 '<t:AdditionalProperties>' +
                   '<t:FieldURI FieldURI="item:Subject" />' +
                   '<t:FieldURI FieldURI="calendar:Start" />' +
                   '<t:FieldURI FieldURI="calendar:End" />' +
                 '</t:AdditionalProperties>' +
               '</m:ItemShape>' +
               '<m:CalendarView MaxEntriesReturned="5" StartDate="2015-06-20T17:30:24.127Z" EndDate="2015-07-20T17:30:24.127Z" />' +
               '<m:ParentFolderIds>' +
                 '<t:FolderId Id="AAMk" ChangeKey="AgAA" />' +
               '</m:ParentFolderIds>' +
             '</m:FindItem>' +
           '</soap:Body>' +
         '</soap:Envelope>';

                jQuery.support.cors = true;
                $.ajax({
                    crossDomain: true,
                    url: "https://company.company.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx",
                    type: "POST",
                    dataType: "xml",
                    headers: {
                        "Authorization": "Basic " + 'myloginNT' + ":" + 'pwd'
                    },
                    data: soapPacket,
                    processData: false,
                    complete: alert('complete'),
                    success: function (data) {
                        alert('ok');                      
                    },
                    error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                        alert(XMLHttpRequest);
                        alert(errorThrown);
                    }
                    ,
                    contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\""
                });
            }

  

i don't know where i can add "domain" if it is important to send it .

thanks
