Hi,

I have been able to configure my OWA successfully upto using SSL and getting the default login page.
But the problem is I have to specify "domain" while logging in through OWA.i.e.
I have to give username as "domain\username". How can I configure my OWA to take the domain name by default.

Regards

If you have Forms Based Authentication enabled and are on SP2 for Exchange 2003 then you shouldn't need to enter the domain\ in the form. It was an undocumented change.

However if you are in an environment with multiple domains then you will have to use the domain\ so that the server knows what domain to use.

The only exception I have found to this is when you are using the administrator account on a member server and the local administrator and domain administrator have different passwords. Then you must use domain\administrator to access the administrator mailbox.

Simon.
