OWA HTTP to HTTPS Redirect, and 403 Errors in IE.
Mon, Nov 16, 2009In my previous post I talked about how to accomplish a redirect, however there is a small snag:
Using a redirect page without enough text in the HTML file will, in some browsers (*ahem*IE*ahem*) cause them to use their own copy of the error page. This copy won’t have a redirect to the site, obviously, and it won’t work. This can be solved by changing the page to something like this:
<html><br />
<head><br />
<title>Microsoft Exchange Web Access - Redirect</title><br />
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"<br />
CONTENT="1; URL=https://email.domain.com/owa/"><br />
</head><br />
<body><br />
This page is attempting to redirect you to <a href="https://email.domain.com/owa/">https://email.domain.com/owa</a><br><br />
If you are not redirected within a few seconds, please click the link above to access Outlook Web Access.<br />
</body></html>
