Fromt End OWA login looping
I have a Ex2k3 front end server and a ex2k3 clustered back end server.
My problem is that when I try to log into the FE server using the premium page it just loops back to the premium login page. Any ideas?

no.
How are you trying to login? Are you using Domain\Username?
Did you change the authentication method on HTTP\Exchange on the cluster or FE?
It should work right out of the box ... the login is a bit different than 5.5 unless you customize OWA on the FE

Make sure Basic and Anonymous authentication are enabled on your front-end and Windows Integrated Authentication is not enabled.

You'll want to make sure directory browsing is enabled as well ...
ASKER
does directory browsing need to checked off on the Default Web Site or on the Exchange Dir.
That is on the default web site, right, BNettles73. Get BNettles73's opinion as well before you do this, because I am not 100 percent sure.

Heres a stupid question, I upgraded the backend servers to SP1 and not the front end......would that cause it?
I am installing SP1 on the front end now.....
I am installing SP1 on the front end now.....
Troubleshooting OWA Whitepaper - http://www.amrein.com/library/download/owa2000Troubleshooting.doc
Check out pages 18-20 I believe .... will give you all of the permissions to check ...
Directory Browsing - Open System Manager > Expand the Org > Expand the Administrative Group > Expand Server > Expand Protocols > Expand HTTP - Expand the Virtual Server - Right Click "Exchange" and select Properties - Click on the Access tab ... You may also want to verify on the backend ... check Exchange under the virtual server in HTTP as well as directly on the HTTP/Virtual Server properties.
Directory Browsing does not need to be enabled on the default website ... I believe you only need "Read" access ... the link above should explain Virtual Directory, WWW, and User Permissions in detail ...

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
It could be if you were just typing in a username and password before you installed sp1. After you install sp1 you might have to use domain and username to login. This might be why it goes back to the login screen again.
Here is an article that talks about it:

Is the front-end in a DMZ?
