Using Web Outlook Forms Based Authentication Without SSL

One of the annoyances of enabling Microsoft Exchange Web Outlook with forms-based authentication, is the fact that you must enable SSL in order for it to work. Well, there is a work around, here it is:

1. Start>Run>Regedit

2. Browse to ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeWeb’

3. If it doesn’t exist, add a folder(subkey) called ‘OWA’.

4. Under the new(or old) subkey, add a DWord registry entry called ‘AllowRetailHTTPAuth’ and give it a value of ‘1′.

5. Test the fix by going to http://servername/exchange and verify it brings up the form login.

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since. My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up. Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about.
