Hi Glen,

Thanks for your reply.
I have tested it again.

I get the problem is 401 Error.

I have also checked it client os version is: window 2003

my app works fine on windows 2000,

Is that because of version problem?

Thanks

A 401 response is a authentication error so it points to a problem with the
code your trying to use. You need to look at what type of authentication
your using in OWA first eg are you using NTLM , Basic, or Forms based
authentication. Depending on what language your coding in and what objects
you are using you will need to add or adjust your code to suit the
authentication being used on the server.

Hi Glen,

Thanks for your reply.

I have checked the Customer setting.
My app uses NTLM method to talk with Exchange server.

The customer exchange server setting is Basical.

But I have tested on my environment.
When I set my server authtication as Basical type.
I still can talk to exchange server with NTLM type.

If it runs on customer side, it does not work.(I can not go to client site
to debug )
any clue?

Any suggestion would be great accepted.
Regards

What are you coding in what objects are you using,

If your customer in using Basic authentication then they are probably also
using it over SSL if thats the case maybe they are using Self signed
certificates and the object you are using cant deal with certificate warning
popups (this is generally the case for the microsoft.xmlhttp object). Also
when you tested it on your sever did you disable all other authentication
except basic because NTLM will usually always be used even in you have basic
enabled. Generally if you using basic authentication you need to hardcode
the username and password in the code (also possibly the domain depending on
the server config). A good way to debug this is to check the Event log on
the server if you are authenticating incorrectly you should see the failed
attempts in the event log. Some other tools you might want to try are using
exchange explorer or Pfdavadmin which both use WebDAV see if you can use
these tools to sucessfully view the public folders on the server. Also you
might want to try simplifying your query eg try one folder that you know the
user that is running the code has access to (eg check the mapi permissions
on the folder in outlook) and see if this works.

Cheers
Glen

Hi Glen,

I came cross a solution on Google search.
It said to clear the password on the IE, and do WEBDAV search by using my
source
again.

I have told customer this, and it does work.

It is very wired.

Thanks
