OWA / ECP loop at login

Brass Contributor

After upgrading the Exchange 2013 server to CU13 we have the problem that trying to logon to OWA or ECP we getting the logon screen back.
We have done several action in trying to resolve this after reading several blogs and articles:
- remove and renew the virtual directories

- renew the server certificate

- install .NET Framework 4.6.1

- install CU15

- check web.config files

 

We have found a workaround by disabling FBA and enable Windowsauthentication.

 

We even have submitted a case with Microsoft where they have found that is a certificate that is having a bad key

11:41:38.594        14024        7784        HttpProxy        Verbose        "[FbaModule::ParseCadataCookies] Received CryptographicException System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Bad Key.

We have removed the thirdParty certificate and imported the original pFX, with no luck

 

We would like to solve this without bying a new certificate

 

Hoping that the community has some suggestions, we and MS support did not try yet.

 

Thanks

Sorry for the late reaction

It is solved, We had to buy a new certificate, which will eventually solved the problem.
Somewhere the certificate got corrupted, but it was not clear what the cause was.

Glad to hear that the problem is solved.
