> I have encountered an issue which causes Outlook desktop (Windows, > Build 1712) setup wizard to fail. The previous setup wizard, Outlook > Android, and Blackberry hub all work correctly. > > Outlook will POST the user and password to the server, successfully > authenticate against Horde HTTP Basic Auth, retrieve the > autoconfigure.xml file, but then it will either consistently fail > username / password authentication, or it will simply present the > "something went wrong" screen over and over again (Indicating that > Outlook has cached the password). > > Looking at the Outlook logs, it would seem as though Outlook may be > trying to authenticate against the MS Office 365 service, but I am > not 100% sure how to interpret the logs or outlook's behaviour at > this stage. I can say for sure that it seems NOT to be hitting the > /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync endpoint - it is hitting the > /autodiscover.xml file, then it is doing something else. It is > definitely communicating with Microsoft IP addresses with each login > attempt, but I can't see what's in the packets. > > The horde server passes the MS Exahgance connectivity test > (https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/) > > I believe it may be a similar issue to this: > https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/issues/615 > > Implementing an autodiscover.json file as mentioned by mkuron does > not result in any change of behaviour. > > The described workaround (manually launch the old configuration > wizard, (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft > Office\root\Office16\OLCFG.EXE) is functional on this version of > Outlook and will work for now, but if this is changed/removed in a > future version, then I can imagine this being a show stopper. > > A quick trawl around the internet reveals several other comments > about this new, undocumented behaviour in Outlook 2016.
