activesync not working with forms based authentication
- by Chad
I have an Exchange 2003 SP2 single backend server with an SSL cert.  I was having trouble getting OMA to work so I found a MS article about making a reg hack and creating a new Exchange-OMA virtual directory.  I am able to connect and access content from my mailbox by using secure mail.domainname.com/oma and using my credentials.  ActiveSync was not working on a Windows mobile phone or iPhone.  I found another article about using Forms Based Authenication and SSL on a single Exchange server environment and the fix was to elliminate FBA and SSL for the Exchange virtual directory.  That allows ActiveSync to now work. I have very few mobile users, but they are management, so I need to make ActiveSync work but I would like to get back to using SSL.

Any ideas about this setup?  Thanks.
