Outlook Web Access internally using SSL 1

[baronne]

Hi,
We have a new setup of Outlook 2003 which works fine on the face of things. But there are a few little issues we are trying to iron out.
We have bought an SSL certificate so the OWA can be accessed from outside the network which works fine, no security prompt, only username and password which we have set to basic mode (with the SSL is apparently best practice).
From our internal network if we browse to

http://webmail

we get a security prompt - because the certificate is for the FQDN of webmail.ourdomain.co.uk. The problem is that we get prompted for our username and password - which we would prefer not to have to enter these details as it should get the credentials from the currently logged in user. The same happens if we browse using the FQDN of

http://webmail.ourdomain.co.uk.

How can we make this seamless/transparent internally?

Thanks
Baronne

do you not access OWA via

http://servername/exchange/

?

we have a redirect, so

http://webmail

becomes

https://webmail/exchange

out of curriosity, why do you want people internally to use webmail instead of Outlook Client?

you have less functionality via OWA plus it puts extra load on server and network traffic if people are using it via OWA/IIS

because our users have previously only used a rubbish webmail system. We intend to introduce the Outlook client later.
