Author: Simon Butler, Exchange MVP, MCSE Last Page Review: 22/06/2008 As a good Exchange administrator you should be deploying SSL on to your Outlook Web Access. However, this change will cause complaints from users, who don't want to have to remember to put in the https in front of the URL. You could just tell the users to get used to it (and in most cases they will) but usually the administrator is forced to come up with a compromise, and put in a redirect. The Microsoft Method This is the way that Microsoft ask you to do it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=839357 The flaw with that method is that you must open port 80 on your web site and also reconfigure IIS to use the replacement page. The Amset IT Solutions Method This is the way that we offer this facility, which uses the public web site of the client, but needs to have a site that supports ASP.
Yet this method can be further enhanced. If you have deployed Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) as well (Exchange 2003 only), then you can change the code to the following... <% What this code does is detect that the client is a Pocket PC device and redirect the browser to the OMA page. If the client isn't a pocket PC, then they get the regular OWA login page. Combining this code with the default web page configuration change If you have made the modification to present the Exchange 2003 forms based authentication page to the users as the default when they hit https:// mail domain.com so that they don't have to put the /exchange at the end, then you can combine this code with that change so that a mobile client is redirected to OMA. This requires a change to the page that is presented to the client. This guide is based on English language locations within Exchange. If you are using non-English pages then you will need to adjust those as required.
Questions Q: What Happens if the user has changed their browser identification code? Q: Our corporate web site doesn't support ASP, is there a PHP version of this code?
