I've looked at the forms auth how to on support.microsoft.com and several other samples that all look the same. And I'm generating the information the same way I think (my other code works great using standard auth). Here's what I'm writing to the content stream: destination=https%3a%2f%2f<ServerName>%2fExchange %2f<alias>&username=<domain>\<user Name>&password=<password> All URLEncoded of course. the URL that I'm requesting from is: https://<server name>/exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll Every time I do this, I get a (401) unauthorized exception in my c# code. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I"m dong wrong? I found all kinds of people pinging about 401 but not one that had any answer on how to solve it. Thanks!

I turned on Anonymous access and now I get a 503 error "Server Unavailable".

I think that should be 'Service Unavailable'. Can you have a look in the IIS log, and see exactly which request caused that status message to be returned?

Oh, one other thing. Is OWA actually working on that server?
Yes, I'm logged in right now. It's Exchange Server 2007 sp1.
Hi John, Exchange 2007 uses another path for the FBA authenticaiton. Try your request with owa/auth/owaauth.dll instead of exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll.
