Troubleshooting End-User Recovery Options

OWA is attempting to recall from a server that does not have Exchange Web Service (EWS)

Problem

Recalls from OWA are failing when the user is trying to accesses OWA through server A from which the Exchange Web Service (EWS) is blocked. However, the EWS is accessible from server B.

Solution

By default OWA recall uses the same host server as that of Exchange Web Service (EWS). In case the user has the EWS configured on another server, they would require an alternate EWS host server name to complete the recall process.

This can be done by placing the CVOWA:NameResolution key in the web.config file located in Exchange_Install_Path\ClientAccess\OWA.

Usage
<add key="CVOWA:NameResolution" value="Excforrecall" />
Where

Value- Is the EWS host server name.

Cannot access OWA server when recalling from message stubs

Problem

The end user cannot access the OWA server through the Web because there might be a proxy or a load balance OWA server available through which the recall request are being routed to the mail OWA server.

Solution

Place the CVOWA:CASProxyExternalUrl key in the web.config file located in Exchange_Install_Path\ClientAccess\OWA. This key allows the end user to access OWA server available behind a proxy or a load balance OWA server.

Usage
<add key ="CVOWA:CASProxyExternalUrl" value ="https://webmail.aaa.com" />
Where

Value - The name of the proxy or the load balancing server. For example there is a load balance server named “webmail.aaa.com” available in front of OWA servers. The end-user access OWA through the URL https://webmail.aaa.com. In this case the value of this key should be set to https://webmail.aaa.com.

Enable troubleshooting logging for OWA recalls

Problem

You cannot view the OWA recall logs from 'CvDiagnostics.

Solution

Place the CVOWA:EventLog key in the web.config file located in <Exchange_Install_Path>\ClientAccess\OWA. If this key is enabled, the OWA recall logs will be written to 'CvDiagnostics' event entry.

Usage
<add key ="CVOWA:EventLog" value="true"/>

Exchange Web Service (EWS) is not configured as an SSL site for the end user

Problem

By default, OWA recalls communicate with EWS with SSL HTTP protocol. If EWS is not configured as an SSL site, the end user cannot perform recalls from OWA.

Solution

Place CVOWA:UseNonSSLForEws key in the web.config file located in <Exchange_Install_Path>\ClientAccess\OWA.

Usage
<add key="CVOWA:UseNonSSLForEws"/>

OWA does not stub icons for fresh installs

Problem

For OWA, if you upgrade from a previous version, the stubs icons are displayed, but for fresh installs the stub icons are not displayed.

Solution

To enable the display of tub icons for fresh OWA installs, perform this task on each CAS server.

  1. Locate <OWA Install Path>\forms\customization.

  2. Open the file UIExtensions.xml with Notepad.

  3. Locate the section <SmallIconMappings> in the file and add the following:

    <SmallIconMappings> <Mapping ItemClass="ipm.note.commvault.galaxy.stub" SmallIcon="form-cvstub.gif" Alt="ReadMessage" /> </SmallIconMappings>
  4. Restart the IIS server.
