Version: | 8.0 |
Symbolic Name: | ErrWebBasicAuthRequest |
Message: | Request with Basic Auth is received from HostAddress:”%1″, HostName:”%2″. Invalid Autodiscover site configuration. To fix the problem either remove Basic Auth or enable SSL. |
Explanation | |
This Error event indicates that an Autodiscover client (for example, a Microsoft® Outlook® client) is connecting to the Microsoft Exchange Autodiscover service that has the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection disabled and Basic authentication enabled. Autodiscover stops processing this request and returns an HTTP 403 error to the client. We recommend that the Autodiscover client and the Autodiscover service mutually connect by using SSL to prevent spammers from accessing corporate network information. ‘HostName’ in the error message text refers to the Domain Name System (DNS) name of the remote client. |
