safeword, exchange and entourage

G

We use exchange 2003 on SBS server and most of the team have Outlook 2003 on XP to access. We also use SecureComputing Safeword Tokens for remote connection. Presently, this protects our VPN connections and Exchange OWA. Has anyone had experience with connecting to Exchange using Entourage's WebDAV in the presence of SafeWord.

Cheers

Hi Trevor!

If the SafeWord software interjects a layer of password authentication
between Entourage and your OWA server then Entourage will most likely
not be able to connect. Entourage's architecture is not extensible with
third party software and so it has no ability to integrate your token's
security with its own. And if Entourage is attempting to connect to
something other than the OWA site it will not understand what to do.

If you're able to make your VPN connection first then you should be able
to use regular authentication in Entourage as if you're on your company
network.

Hope this helps!
