APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1



SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You use a third-party program to log on to Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). When the session that is opened by the third-party program expires, you are prompted to reauthenticate in Outlook Web Access. In this scenario, the logon process stops responding when you try to reauthenticate.

After you experience several failures when you try to reauthenticate in Outlook Web Access, you may experience the following symptoms:

  • Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) may automatically disable the Exchange application pool. When the Exchange application pool is disabled, the following event is logged in the Application log:

    Event ID: 1002
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: W3SVC
    Event Category: None
    Date: Date
    Time: Time
    User: N/A
    Computer: Server_Name
    Description: Application pool 'ExchangeApplicationPool' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.

  • To make Outlook Web Access available again, you restart IIS. However, the symptoms occur again after some time.


CAUSE

This problem occurs if the pFilterContext pointer is set to null. The Outlook Web Access authentication process does not expect this pointer to be set to null.
