OWA - 'Forbidden' popup when user clicks 'Send'
by Boris Nikolaevich » Thu, 29 Jan 2004 14:30:16 GMT
OWA 2003, Exchange 2003, Windows Server 2003
Users are able to log in to OWA and view messages, and even click "New" to
create a new e-mail. But when the user clicks "send," a very non-helpful
popup with the single word "Forbidden" pops up. This is not an HTTP 403
Forbidden page, but a window.alert() [or msgbox() for VBScripters] style
popup.
When I first set up OWA, I had no problem connecting and sending messages.
However, in the course of troubleshooting the "Can't Change Expired Password
in OWA" problem, I now experience this error consistently.
The error seems to occur whether I log in using HTTP or HTTPS, and whether
I'm using Forms Based Authentication or not.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Boris,
Please let me know if you ever found an answer to this problem. I am
still working on it.
Thanks,
Norbert

Still no solution. It's odd, to me, that this appeared as a client-side
problem, since a) the changes I've made per MS and newsgroup posts have all
been server-side and b) the client (aka Internet Explorer) connects to OWA
via HTTPS and has the site listed in Trusted Sites (so there should not be
any JavaScript security issues).
Thanks, though, for letting me know I'm not alone! I will DEFINITELY post
when I find a solution. (After all, that's how I finally configured Outlook
2003 to connect via RPC over HTTP -- someone with the same problem posted
back when they found a solution! Turns out you can only log in using
DOMAIN\user when connecting this way (the AD-style XXXX@XXXXX.COM
won't work). I didn't find anything about this in any documentation, only
in that single follow-up post!)

This turned out to be an IIS permissions issue. Make sure that the web has
Write permissions enabled -- if users can't save a new message to the queue,
they can't send it!

1.OWA - 'Forbidden' popup when user clicks 'Send' (Solution)
I believe I solved the problem by making sure the Exchange virtual directory
had "Read", "Write", and "Directory Browsing" enabled. (In other words,
users can't create new messages if they can't write to the store!)

2.OWA on Exch2003: "Forbidden" popup when sending mail
New install of SBS2003 with Exchange 2003; all seems to be working okay
except users cannot send or reply to messages using OWA. Instead, a popup
comes up with only the word "Forbidden" and nothing else.
I have seen many newsgroup postings on the net regarding this, but no
specific fixes. This is not related to "FreeDocs" or other issues; I believe
it may have something to do with write access in IIS on the default web site,
where OWA resides, but again I cannot find a specific solution.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

4.OWA Forbidden popup
When sending an email via OWA, upon clicking send, a
popup comes that says Forbidden. The message is not sent.
This also occurs for fowarding/replying and across all
users.
There was another post about this last month, but no
replies. Has anyone else seen this?
