Hi there,

I have a question regarding accessing Outlook Calendars (not public calendars) from ASP.

Users do not login to NT by default, so the servervariable 'LOGON_USER' is empty.

I am happy with the programming side (CDO) , but want to allow access to some calendars via a generic login (a login that allows access to Meeting room mailboxes for example) , I do not want the user to have to login to exchange (via the prompt) when viewing the calendar.

Is there anyway to pass NT login details (those that the user provides in the www.Authenticate prompt) using ASP?

Thanks

Does this help?

Thanks for this pgtips, It looked ideal! I have tried it but it does not work.

I wonder if I am missing something, or if there is simply a problem specific to how my network is set up.

should a user be able to login to exchange from the asp page anyway?

I notice that the logon method does have an optional parameter for profile logon and password:-

objSession.Logon( [profileName] [, profilePassword] [, showDialog]
       [, newSession] [, parentWindow] [, NoMail] [, ProfileInfo] )

If you could explain this to me, i would appreciate it.


Thanks

I have found the solution to my problem.

If you use serverXMLHTTP to 'fake' the authentication header for a chosen NT login you can gain access to the page programmactically.
