Exchange 2007 OWA log off
I'm wondering if anyone has noticed this issue with OWA on Exchange 2007. When I'm logged into OWA, and am also logged into another web app in another IE7 tab, then log off OWA, the session in my other IE7 tab also gets logged out. Setup is two CAS servers with a hardware load balancer in front. Matt ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
RE: Exchange 2007 OWA log off
One of the guys at my office came up with this:
>>When you log out of web mail, there is a piece of JavaScript that gets
called and kills everything associated with your browser session. Here
is the JavaScript:
>>
>>document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache","false");
>>
>>This is done for security reasons so that no one else can log into
your email account.
>>
>>Using a few tricks, I managed to change the JavaScript on the page an
verified that if we remove this line of code from Microsoft's page, the
session remains intact >>and the MLS continues to function correctly.
>>
>>Given that this is a Microsoft script, there is really nothing we can
do about this behavior. The best work around is to open webmail and the
MLS in separate browser >>instances.
Is there any chance someone could find out if this is a function build
into OWA/Exchange 2007, and if there is a way to change the behavior?
Thanks,
Matt

Not quite sure what you are asking for:
http://www.adopenstatic.com/cs/blogs/ken/archive/2005/04/12/14.aspx
and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536979(VS.85).aspx
describe what is going on. If you want to change the behavior, then change
the logoff.aspx script.
