Exchange authentication

Many people think that exchange uses form based authentication which is not completely true. Form based authentication is done for OWA (Outlook Web Access) which is done if employees of the company are accessing Exchange server from outside. Internal users will be using Outlook 2003 which has MAPI client and it uses basic authentication with Exchange server.
