Enable OWA access on an Exchange 2003 server without SSL. For those times it just has to work and self-signed certs aren’t an option.

  • Enable forms based authentication: http://bit.ly/j64QNi
  • Disable SSL requirement for FBA: http://bit.ly/moUv31
  • Restart IIS

    • Make logon page customizations (so users can input username rather than DOMAIN\Username): http://bit.ly/jfHwxg</li>

    • Configure redirection to point default website to /exchange, create c:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.htm
