Exchange 2003: Outlook Web Access Problem

[jlbenedict]

Ok.. I can access my Exchange site by http://<domain name>/exchange

I get prompted for credentials to log in..... It tries to log in.. and poof:

"Page cannot be displayed:
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings."


I'm wondering if its a permission issue? Or is there another port that I need opened up on my router, such as the port that communicates AD authentification??

It works internally, but what I've described above is externally.

What are you using for a router?
Are you using HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443)?

One quick guess you are trying to log in on port 80 and it redirects to 443, if that's the case you need to open 443. I suggest against opening port 80 (you dont want logins to occur unencrypted).

Yeah.. I should probably implement SSL. (Forms Based Authentication also , right?)

I have a D-Link Di-624. I have configured in my virtual server settings Port 80 -> 9980

I was the able externally type http://<domain.net>:9980/exchange

I get a prompt to log in..I enter in my log in.. and it tries to access.. and then the page cannot be displayed error..

What's the URL it sends you to after you log in?

As memory serves you'll need to change the port IIS is listening to because it will redirect you after logging in.

tries to send me to the original site that I used to access it..

I've added CA services as well, and implemented SSL, and I get the same generic error:

"The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings"

Must be port issues then. I suggest trying to get it to work on HTTP (port 80) first. Then once it's working, you can implement SSL. Is your Exchange virtual server listening on port 80? Do you have port 80 properly forwarded to your Exchange server?
