Problem resolution for My Inbox Web part under SSL.

yesterday, i post a problem about my inbox web part. it can’t show inbox folder if OWA is under SSL. today, i found an article about it and i have a solution now.

the original article is in here. free registration is needed to open it.

below, i was copy and paste here from original source.

PROBLEM:

Ok so you got SSL on your SharePoint portal. You drag and drop your Outlook inbox webpart to your MySite or WSS site. You will get asked for your username and pass.

Solution:

I found this code on www.wssdemo.com

Exact link
http://www.wssdemo.com/Pages/OutlookDemo.aspx?menu=Demo’s

This uses an active x code to pull in either your outlook calendar, inbox and tasks. Use content editor web part, drop this code in the content editor, bingo!

Also, make this for all your users on their MySite Page. Go to MySite from the portal. Click Modify My Page, click shared view. Now drag and drop content editors where you need, drop the code in each, and edit the line of code

<param name=”Folder” value=”tasks”>

replace tasks with calendar, or inbox or any others I didn’t mention.Now all your portal users will have the same code on their MySite. Instant access to their data.
