Exchange 2007 EWS Kerberos Authentication not work on request from external network
Hi I have enabled the Kerberos Authentication on EWS for handling the double hop issue. In my case, a web page will get the calendar items from exchange server using EWS and the web page is using window authentication. So I enabled the Kerberos in both web server and exchange server. It works in internal network. After that, I have tested requesting the web page from external network and the Kerberos does not work. EWS return 401 error. I found the Authenication in exchange server become NTLM and using NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS as the login user. So does Kerberos not support the request from external network? How can I fix this issue? Thanks for your help Zen

Hi, Please understand that the Kerberos v5 requires that the client have a direct connection to Active Directory, which is generally not the case in Internet scenarios.
