Exchange 2003 Frontend / OWA form based authentication

Hi,

I've just installed an exchange cluster with 3 nodes (a/a/p).
I can successfully open the mail boxes for the users of my domain in Outlook
Web Access.
Now I'm about to install an Frontend to centralize the authentication.
I want to build a form based authentication website where the user should
enter their username and password. The data of the form should be redirect to
OWA components.
I need to do the authentication this way, because I'm planning to integrate
a RSA SecurID solution and want to enter the authentication data for OWA and
RSA SecurID on one place.

Therefore, I've got two question:
1. Is this way of OWA authentication possible?
2. If yes, how shall I do this? Has anyone an idea?

Thanks
Uli

If you want to use the RSA token/sw based solution you might want to
have a look at putting ISA in front of the FE or at least in front of
the cluster. The integration piece isn't there out-of-the-box with
Exchange.
