Hi,

To, MSFT.

I am quite unhappy with the limited documentation on EWS.  There should be many useful examples showing the power of EWS and not
just how to call a function.  Also when technology is new , there should be many Videos/Writeup on troubleshooting with EWS with Steps and snapshots.

 

Now I am getting the following Error message and i could not find any resource which can direct me to a solution. 

Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ServiceRequestException was unhandled

Following is my code.

 ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);

   service.TraceEnabled = true;

   service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("xx@xx.com", "xxxx123");

   service.Url = new Uri("https://mail.xxxxxx.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx");

   FolderView v = new FolderView(5);



   ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = RemoteCertificateValidationCallback;



   service.FindFolders(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, v);

   //Error on above line.

 I tried changing the code line as below and I get another Error ....

service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xx@xx.com", "xx","xxxxxxxx");

"The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."

 

How do i resolve.   and what is difference between NetworkCredential and WebCredentials ?

Hello, assuming login and password are correct it may be a problem of the type of the authentication. For example NTLM authentication cannot be delegated. Look here

Hi Jirka,

I don;t understand the link well, I feel its not related to the problem i am facing, as i am not using sharepoint or anything else. 

Mine is a very simple setup.  One ExchangeServer and One XP laptop trying to execute the code.

Regards

Maybe there is not enabled SSL on the target machine. Try this  service.Url = new Uri("http://mail.xxxxxx.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx"); (http instead https).

Hi

SSL is enabled.   Any other pointers ?

Regards

 

403 usually means that SSL is required, but since you are already using https it is possibly something else.  There are actually 20 different types of 403 response - I think it would help if you could find the relevant entry in your iis log files on the target server, and see what the substatus is.

This is Resolved.

I figure out that the problem was in code line

service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xx@xx.com", "xx","xxxxxxxx");

Instead of xx@xx.com  it should be just username 'xx'.     That Solved.

Phew!!

Regards

Hi Jignesh,

Thanks for sharing this.

removing @xx.com worked for me as well.

Thanks again.

Hello,

for Java use ExchangeCredentials credentials = new WebCredentials("username", "password"); instead.

Hi Jaywant 
I m not getting the jar contains NetworkCredentials class.

Can you please  help me for same ?

Hi Jirka_
I m not getting any of the member of service object.

for example credentials member. 

<p>service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xx@xx.com", "xx","xxxxxxxx");</p><p>It is saying it is not field.</p><p></p>

Hi Everyone ,
