Trouble with external access - 30.Jun.2010 11:33:57 AM

Howdy all, I'm running a single box with CA/HT/MB roles all isntalled and I'm publishing my owa site through an ISA 2004 server. Both are running on win 2k3 x64. I have forms-based auth set up on my web listner and basic set up on IIS. My OWA site works just fine internally as well as activesync. However when I pull it up externally, the login page loads and if I enter correct credentials (or none at all-just hit go) it pops up with this:

Error Code: 403 Forbidden. The server denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Contact the server administrator. (12202)

Any ideas? This has been a real headache for me. Using testexchangeconnectivity.com, the inbound/outbound SMTP tests work fine. Any other test hangs at the certificate part (we are using a self signed certificate, could that be it?)

Things I've tried:
Disable/enable Outlook anywhere
Checked for website adresses set in Exchange management console
Reloaded OWA Virtual Directory

Once again any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Usually means that the path hasn't been published on the ISA server.

The path published on the OWA rule in ISA was webmail.domain.com and in IIS I have it set to redirect to the OWA directory. I changed the path to webmail.domain.com/* though. I havent had a chance to test it externally yet.

Ok, I tested it and I'm still receiving the same error.

This is really frustrating.

Ok so after some more testing and digging through logs I figured out that the OWA listener is getting bypassed for both OWA and ActiveSync externally. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
