Error 403 accessing RWW; OWA and companyweb fine
Hello-
I've followed the directions on a zillion websites to no avail...
Environment: SBS 2003 Premium server, I did not install ISA
Situation: All web functions are operating except the connection to http://servername/remote
servername/exchange opens OWA up just fine from internal or external calls via localhost or external IP; companyweb works fine
The error opening up RWW is 403 - forbidden:
You are not authorized to view this page
You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.
HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
Internet Explorer
The certificate works fine for OWA, so it can't be that. I've checked permissions on all the directories and users and everything is normal.
Note: I even get the forbidden message from expanding ISS, opening the web sites, default web site, right-clicking on remote and doing a "Browse".
Can you help? What am I missing?
Thanks.

Make sure that the Users and you are member of "Remote Web Workplace Users", but i guess you are still member.

Yeah, the memberships are all fine.

More info:
I'm getting prompted from the workstations for authentication to companyweb and none of the logons work. Does this help. Anyone?

...forgot to add the membership to the sharepoint access is why the companyweb asked for authentication. Fixed that.
The remote web workplace issue was caused due to a missing link on the remote properties "Documents" tab. The default.aspx was not in the list. I added it, now everything works fine.
Hopefully someone will benefit from my findings.
Thanks.

I have found the fix to this problem, as i was havin the same issue. I fixed it by doing the following.
Open IIS Manager, right click on default web site and choose properties.
Goto Documents Tab. Add Default.aspx to the bottom. Restart IIS.
Hope this helps

Not sure what comment you are referring to. If you note my last post contained the fix that I had implemented and that was "a missing link on the remote properties "Documents" tab. The default.aspx was not in the list. I added it, now everything works fine." This is the same post that ditobot posted as well.
