How to Configure Forms-Based Authentication on Exchange Server 2003
Topic Last Modified: 2005-05-24
For Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003, you can enable forms-based authentication feature for your Microsoft Office Outlook® Web Access clients. Forms-based authentication allows an administrator to log users off after a certain period of inactivity.
To successfully complete the procedures in this topic, confirm the following:
-
You have enabled Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on the front-end server
-
On the front-end server, in Exchange System Manager, expand Administrative Groups if administrative groups are enabled, expand Servers, and then expand the front-end server where you want to enable forms-based authentication.
-
Expand Protocols, expand HTTP, right-click Exchange Virtual Server, and then select Properties.
-
Select the Settings tab, and then select the check box next to Enable Forms Based Authentication.
-
In the drop-down menu next to Compression, select the level of compression (High, Low, None) to use.
Note: It is recommended that you do not enable compression in a single-server environment. Enabling compression in a single-server environment causes additional load on the server. -
Click OK.
-
If you receive a message that states that the IIS service must be restarted, click OK, and then restart Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
