OWA Subject Field

OWA Subject Field

I have MS Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2003 and OWA.

We can run OWA with no problems apart from special characters in the subject 
field.

I have changed the URLSCAN.ini on our Front end Exchange server and 
restarted the IIS Service, but I am still having problems.

Can anyone Help ?

Kind Regards

Tony

Is there a URLScan.ini on the BE server(s)?  They will need changing too.

Re: OWA Subject Field

Hello Lee,

URL Scan is not on the Back end servers, we do have an isa server (205), i 
can show you part of the log file it that helps.

Re: OWA Subject Field

I notice that it mentions URL Normalization.  I don't know that much about 
ISA, but I do know that there is an option to disable normalization checking 
on the published URL.

Re: OWA Subject Field

Lee

I opened up ISA server, selected Extentions, Webfilters and disabled URLScan 
Filter and it is working, do you know of any issues with doing this?

Re: OWA Subject Field

Well, the possible issues are those of someone trying to attack your server 
by sending specially crafted URLs.  Unfortunately, it's a choice you need to 
make.
