What is forms Based Authentication..

Answer / muthiah nagarajan

Forms-based Authentication

Exchange 2003 has a snazzy new feature called Forms-based
Authentication, which I'll refer to as FBA. FBA is the new
logon security feature for Outlook Web Access (OWA) which
is disabled by default in Exchange 2003.

There are several security benefits to running FBA:

1. If the session is inactive for a period of time, the
session will expire. The only way to gain access again is
to re-authenticate. More on this later.

2. Users can no longer click the Remember my password check
box in Internet Explorer.

3. Like the session inactivity setting, if you log out, you
really log out. The only way to gain access again is to re-
authenticate. Previously in Exchange 2000, the user had to
complete the logout session by closing the browser window
