OWA Public folder probs, Front/back end server

[eddster]

I have an enterprise server, server A containing mailboxes and public folders. Web access on this server works perfectly.

I just added a front end server, server B.
Web access is fine, except for public folders.
When a user intially logs in to the OWA on the front end server, the inbox appears. When the user clicks on the "Folders" bar on the left they get a dialog box that says "Login failed or cancelled"

The public folder tree does not appear. Everything else works fine.

On server "A", the security on the "Public" virtual directory is set to "Basic" and "Integrated windows". If I mirror this config on server "B" I still get the same error.

Do I have to replicate instances of the folders to the front end server? I'd rather not do this if I don't have to.

Er,....help? Thanks....

New info, this WORKS if the user logs in as domain\user, before we were just logging in as user. Why would this affect access to the public folders?

I thought that if you added a "\" to the domain box for basic authentication, this defaulted to the current domain (we only have one domain so this shouldn't cause problems).

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Cheers....
