Hi, first of all sorry for the cross posting. i have a problem with an
ASP.NET application that requires to redirect the user to an OWA URL
(for example
[url]http://#server#.#domain#.com/exchange/#username#/inbox/#mailsubject#.eml?cmd=open[/url]).
My specific goal is get the user to access that OWA url without the
browser asking for authentication. Sometimes i have noticed that when i
log on to the domain with my username and then try to open my inbox
using OWA it doesnt ask for authentication thats what i try to achieve
but all the users will access only one same account. I have tried to
impersonate the user using the Web.config file (using the <impersonate>
tag specifying the login information for the account i want the user to
access). I have also used the ASP.NET httpwebrequest class, providing
the credentials for the email account i want the user to access but the
problem with this approach comes with multipart emails, since it shows
a login window to the user for every part of that multipart email and i
do not want the user enter any information (they all will access a
single account and nobody should know the credentials thats why im
trying to do an automated logon as stated before)

Thanks a lot in advance for your help
Alan

p.s.: i pasted the message below since it is a similar problem to mine
so that u can have an idea what i am looking for, but i am not using
iframes.
