How do I password protect my Outlook 2003 profile in cached exchange mode

I use Outlook 2003 to connect to a Exchange 2003 server via RPC over
http.  I use cached exchange mode.  When I fire-up my Outlook,. it
goes right into my stuff, It then present a dialog box to login to the
server.  if you hit cancel, you can still get to all my stuff by just
firing up my outlook.

How can I force OL to require a password to open my outlook profile?

I share a machine with someone else and we each have our own Outlook profiles.

I tried checking ?always prompt for username and password? in the
profile settings, but that didn?t help.


thanx in advnce

Hi Sherpaj,

It's me, bestsearcher-ga, again. Hope you've found a good
USB2/FireWire card for your 600sc by now.

Coming to your current query, It appears to me that you haven't
specified the correct authentication method suited to your
requirement. The default authentication method is Password
Authentication (NTLM). I guess you have to use either
a) Basic Password Authentication. Under BPA you will be prompted for a
password each time a connection is made to the Exchange server.
However, the password is sent in clear text under BPA posing a
security risk.
b) Using NTLM with the following check boxes checked: "Connect using
SSL only" and "Mutually authenticate the session when connection with
SSL"

Microsoft has a guide describing four scenarios for deploying RPC over
HTTP. You can download it from the following link:

I have to use Basic Password Authentication for my http over rpc to
work.  The prob is that is shows the emails in my cache. it doesn;'t
require a password for this, just for connecting to the exchange
server.  The connection is irrelivant, since the googies are all in
the cache. help.
