Hi,All

I have a question.We know when we register a user to exchange server.
we fill in longon name, display name and email address and password.

So, when we want to access exchange server(throught webDAV), we use logon
name and passwrod to do authentication to check if it is right access.

I want to if I only know email address and password,Can I access exchange
server.
to get some information by using webDAV

If I can , how to do it?

If I can not, how to get a solution about only know email address, password.
Thanks

Hello,

you can lookup the owner of the email-address and extract the logon name via
an LDAP search. Use an LDAP filter like this one:
(proxyAddresses=SMTP:emailaddress@yourcompany.com). Obviously, the
emailaddress@yourcompany.com must be replaced with the email-address you are
searching for...

The logon name is stored in the property sAMAccountName.

Greetings,
Henning Krause
