Cisco Unity Connection 8.6.2 SSO & Exchange 2003 Configuration

Hi All,

Would you be kind enough to provide guidance for the following issue, which I have,
currently run out of Ideas for trouble shooting & resolving this issue.
.  
I required assistance getting Exchange 2003 working with Cisco Unity connection
Single Inbox Is not Working for Users Associated with a Unified Messaging Service Account

I require a method to test exchange to ensure the exchange configuration is correct.

The unified messaging account configured in exchange I believe is configured correctly,
as I have check the unity configuration with a customer's working solution, unfortunately
I do  not have access to their Microsoft exchange server.

If I run a test on Unity connection for the unified messaging account, the test is successful, however if I run the test for the unified messaging account under the configured voice mail user, the test fails with the following error below.
 
I think the issue is with my exchange server, but I don't know how to confirm my exchange 2003 settings in IIS and Exchange system manager are ok.

Please note I am able to send and receive email internally & externally and OWA works internally and externally.

I also have a Asterisk PBX with Voicemail integration which is configured to send voicemail message as an attachment  to my exchange account. which seems really simple in comparison, although the Asterisk in not configured to sync with Exchange.

On the Asterisk server all I need to do is configure Asterisk for Remote SMTP Delivery. The Extension is configured to send voicemail to my Exchange email account account using my email address and pointed to the SMTP exchange server IP address.  

Within Unity Connection 8.6.2 I get the following error when testing the unified messaging user account on Unity connection.

Did you set up the send as / receive as permission for the given user properly, granting it to Unity@yourdomain.local?

Hi bharrington83,


Yes the send and receive as + Administer information Store is the allowed permissions.
Hi,

The User has an email account and is able to send and receive mail for the domain in question. When you refer to "send as / receive as permission " would you be kind enough to elaborate, should the end user account be configured to a similar vain as the unified Service account?

Regards

You need to grand SendAs/ReceiveAs in active directory for the unity user.  Right click on the user in question and grant those permission to your unity worker account.
Apparently there are issues with Unity Connection & Exchange 2003 configured for Form based Authentication, there is a Micosoft knowledge base article which explains how to turn off Form Based Routing & configure a Another Exchange Virtual Server "Exchange-OMA"
without SSL. The article is related to OWA Active Sync, not sure if it is relevant, however it does refer to disabling Form Based Authentication.  

Form Based Authentication & Exchange ActiveSync Returned an HTTP 500 Error

I have followed the steps and now I'm hitting the HTTP 500 error as oppose to the Previous error Http Status [440]
Form-Based-Authentication-Proble.docx
Please note I have checked the Send and receive permissions for the user in question,
however I found the option under the Active directory user profile, by right clicking Properties and selecting the security Tab.

If I highlight the Administrator under Group or user names, send and receive is checked for this particular user. The user happens to be an administrator.

Please see attached image.


Thanks again.

Hi All,

I believe the issue is server related configuration although I'm not sure what the issue is.
From Cisco Unity connection a test of the users account can be initiated and the error I'm hitting relates to HTTP 500 error.  see below:

Failed accessing joe.bloggs@company.net on 192.168.1.41

Some possible reasons for 401: Incorrect service account name or password. Service account password expired. Proper permissions not granted to service account. Exchange mailbox uninitialized. HTTP status=[401 Unauthorized] diagnostic=[Bad response from server, HTTP code returned: 401] url=[https://192.168.1.41/exchange/joe.bloggs@company.net] request=[<?xml version="1.0"?> <D:propfind xmlns:D="DAV:" xmlns:fh="urn:schemas:httpmail:" xmlns:h="http://schemas.microsoft.com/repl/"> <D:prop> <fh:msgfolderroot/> </D:prop> </D:propfind> ] response=[<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>Error: Access is Denied.</body></html>]
