Proxy

Error

LogAlways

Client Access server "%1", running Exchange version "%2", is proxying Outlook Web App traffic to Client Access server "%3", which runs Exchange version "%4". To ensure reliable interoperability, the proxying Client Access server needs to be running a newer version of Exchange than the Client Access server it is proxying to. If the proxying Client Access server is running a newer version of Exchange than the Client Access server it is proxying to, the proxying Client Access server needs to have an Outlook Web App resource folder (for example, "<Exchange Server installation path>)\ClientAccess\owa\8.0.498.0" that contains all the same versioned resource files as the Client Access server it is proxying to. If you will be running Outlook Web App proxying with mismatched server versions, you can manually copy this resource folder to the proxying Client Access server. After you copy this resource folder to the proxying Client Access server, you need to restart IIS before proxying will work.

MSExchange OWA 42

Proxy

Error

LogAlways

Client Access server "%1" tried to proxy Outlook Web App traffic to Client Access server "%2". This failed because one of these configuration problems was encountered:1. "%2" has been set to use "http://" (not using SSL) instead of "https://" (using SSL). You can modify this by setting the InternalUrl parameter of the Outlook Web App virtual directory this proxy traffic is going to. You can set that parameter using the Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell.2. The destination virtual directory returned an HTTP 403 error code. This usually means it's not configured to accept SSL access. You can change this configuration by using IIS Manager on the Client Access server "%2".If you don't want this proxy connection to use SSL, you need to set the registry key "AllowProxyingWithoutSSL" on this Client Access server and to set the InternalUrl and SSL settings for the Outlook Web App virtual directory this proxy traffic is going to accordingly.

Proxy

Error

LogAlways

Microsoft Exchange Client Access server %1 tried to proxy Outlook traffic to Client Access server %2. This failed because the authentication for the connection between the two Client Access servers failed. This may be due to one of these configuration problems: 1. The host name in %2 may not be registered as a Service Principal Name (SPN) with Kerberos on the target Client Access server. This usually happens because you used the IP address, instead of the host name, of the target Client Access server in the "internalURL" configuration for the Outlook Web App virtual directory on the target Client Access server. You can change the "internalURL" configuration for the target Client Access server using the "Set-OwaVirtualDirectory" task. If you don't want to change the "internalURL" configuration for the Outlook Web App virtual directory on the target Client Access server, you can also use the tool "setspn.exe" on the target Client Access server to register additional SPNs for which that Client Access server will accept Kerberos authentication. 2.The server hosting %2 may be configured not to allow Kerberos authentication. It might be set to use Integrated Windows authentication for the Outlook Web App virtual directory, but be configured to only use NTLM (not Kerberos) authentication for Integrated Windows authentication. If you suspect this may be the cause of the failure, see the IIS documentation for additional troubleshooting steps.

Proxy

Error

LogAlways

The Client Access server "%1" attempted to proxy Outlook Web App traffic for mailbox "%2". This failed because no Client Access server with an Outlook Web App virtual directory configured for Kerberos authentication could be found in the Active Directory site of the mailbox. The simplest way to configure an Outlook Web App virtual directory for Kerberos authentication is to set it to use Integrated Windows authentication by using the Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell, or by using the Exchange Management Console. If you already have a Client Access server deployed in the target Active Directory site with an Outlook Web App virtual directory configured for Kerberos authentication, the proxying Client Access server may not be finding that target Client Access server because it does not have an internalUrl parameter configured. You can configure the internalUrl parameter for the Outlook Web App virtual directory on the Client Access server in the target Active Directory site by using the Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet.
