While I cant know specifically what kind of work you guys do, I can state the OWA is good enough for virtually everyone who uses it. I imagine that unless you are some kind of spy agency, it should be good enough for you Use HTTPS, set the time out to something like 5 minutes and run with it.
Be sure your users know they need to log off. It is amazing what they will do if you tell them there is a chance someone else may read their email if you don't. -----Original Message----- From: Crouthamel, Jonathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 1:13 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Force Logoff of OWA I don't think the session time-outs are gonna do it. My main concern would be access from kiosks which sometimes won't let you close the browser. We may be stuck going third party for a solution again. Seems like another downgrade from 5.5...;) Pasted from Q294752 NOTE : The above setting has to do with the connection between the client and the server and it does not affect authentication in any way. When you set the user context timeout to a number, even if this timeout passes, the client browser will still have the user's credentials cached and the user will not be prompted for credentials -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 4:03 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Force Logoff of OWA XCCC: Session Timeout Settings for Outlook Web Access on Exchange 2000 Server http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q294752 William Other reg settings for OWA: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q311342 -----Original Message----- From: Clark, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 12:51 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Force Logoff of OWA That may be the diff.

The only thing I can seem to find info on is session time-outs which doesn't have an effect if the browser remains open since the credentials seemed to remain cached in the browser. Novell's myrealbox works flawlessly. That's the functionality I am looking for without migrating to novell...:) Thanks for any input.
