Hi
I have promblem to access the page /owa/auth.owa, after logon to the owa. Can't find the page. The email works, but I can't access the website.
Email in and out is OK on phone, but not outlook and web, where I need to put in the username and password.
Can't reach the owa page using "domain\owa" I need to use "domain\owa\auth\logon.aspx"
I changed the internal and external url. from xxx.xxxx.xx to exch.domain.no
Please help me with this problem.
This happen on both owa and ecp after login.
Best regards

Hi Atle,
Please make sure that the authentication is set to Basic Authentication and Forms Authentication is disabled on OWA and ECP virtual directly in IIS. After the above settings, please restart IIS by running IISReset /noforce command.

Hi again.
I recreated the owa and ecp virutaldirectories, and now I can enter the url for xx.domain/owa and ecp, but I have another problem.
After recreating this virdir I can't access them with my username and password.
Error: Wrong username or password. Please try again.
When I try entering the ecp, it redirect me to the owa page after i tried typing username and password. The page is not longer the ecp but owa.
I am running Windows Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2016.
What do I have to do??

Hi,
What's your Exchange server CU version?
Does the error 'Invalid username or password' occurs on both OWA and ECP or just ECP?
Please check the configuration of HTTP redirection in IIS like the below link mentioned:
https://exchange-server-guide.blogspot.com/2017/01/ecp-redirects-to-owa-in-exchange.html
You could also refer to this thread discussed the similar issue, check if you get any error logs in event viewer:
ECP & OWA aren't working - “Incorrect username/password”
After making some changes to web.config files, the issue resolved.
