OWA URL transformation - 2.Mar.2006 3:55:55 PM

Hello,

Typing the link /http://<server>/<virtualserver> brings me to my OWA page, but it is ultimately transformed into this:

/CookieAuth.dll?GetLogonWrapper?url=%2F&reason=0">http://<server>/CookieAuth.dll?GetLogonWrapper?url=%2F<virtualserver>&reason=0

What is the explanation for this and is it possible to keep the original link displayed as: /http://<server>/<virtualserver> ?

Thanks.

I think that's the ISA2004 Forms-based auth URL. As long as you use FBA, the URL will always be changed to that when you need to log in.

Absolutely, we use ISA2004 FBA. Is the resulting link similar if using Exchange 2003 as well?

If using OWA directly on the Exchange box, I assume that the link is not transformed?

Thanks again.

If you use FBA on the OWA box itself, it will still be changed (to owaauth.dll, instead of cookieauth.dll). The only way to stop it being changed is to not use FBA, unfortunately.
