Automatic OWA Form Based Authentication thru reverse proxy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Apache users, 

I'm running Apache 2.2.22 on Ubuntu server 12.04 as a reverse proxy to some internal services, including Exchange/OWA 2003. I have setup a site login page where users authenticate before they can access these services. This works fine, but now I want to avoid users having to authenticate a second time to access their OWA mailbox. 

To do this I've setup a form which is pre-filled with the User ID, password and some other details. This works if I post it directly to the Exchange server, eg.

<form id="logonForm" name="logonForm" formtarget="_self" action="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://ExchangeServer/exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll">"https://ExchangeServer/exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll" method="post"> 
      <input type="hidden" name="destination" value="https://ExchangeServer/exchange" /> 

But fails if I post via the reverse proxy, eg.

<form id="logonForm" name="logonForm" formtarget="_self" action="" method="post"> 
      <input type="hidden" name="destination" value="/exchange" />

The relevant section of the virtual host file is:
 
# OWA links 
<Location /exchange> 
ProxyPass https://ExchangeServer/exchange 
ProxyPassReverse https://ExchangeServer/exchange 
SSLRequireSSL 
</Location> 

<Location /exchweb> 
ProxyPass https://ExchangeServer/exchweb 
ProxyPassReverse https://ExchangeServer/exchweb 
SSLRequireSSL 
</Location>

The only error I receive is a "440 Login Timeout" from the Exchange server. I suspect it may be a cookie issue but I'm not really sure. As I said the form auto login works fine if I use the Exchange server directly rather than through the reverse proxy so I think it is an issue with my mod_rewrite config. 

Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated
