How do you automatically Login to OWA 2013 using HTML + JavaScript

We used to use Exchange 2007 and the HTML + JavaScript below to log into OWA 2007 automatically.

But we've now upgraded to Exchange 2013 and the script no longer works. It displays 404 - File or directory not found.
I've asked our Infrastructure department if the owaauth.dll file is still in the same location, and they have told me it's moved to:

https:// + server + /exchweb/auth/owaauth.dll

I changed the script to use the new path, but I still get the 404 - File or directory not found error.

My question is what do I need to change in the script to make it work with Exchange 2013?

Here are the Exchange 2007 script details

HOWTO: Automatically Login to OWA 2007 using HTML + JavaScript

<script>

function LoginToOWA (server,domain,username,password) {





  var url = https:// + server + /exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll;

  var p = {destination:'https://' + server + '/exchange',flags:'0',forcedownlevel:'0',trusted:'0',isutf8:'1',username:domain + '\' + username,password:password};





  var myForm = document.createElement(form);

  myForm.method=post ;

  myForm.action = url ;



  for (var k in p) {



    var myInput = document.createElement(input) ;

    myInput.setAttribute(name, k) ;

    myInput.setAttribute(value, p[k]);

    myForm.appendChild(myInput) ;

  }





  document.body.appendChild(myForm) ;

  myForm.submit() ;

  document.body.removeChild(myForm) ;

}

</script>



<body onload=javascript:LoginToOWA('owa.exchange.com','domain','username','password');>

Worked it out. Here's the new script that works with OWA 2013:

<script>

function LoginToOWA (server,domain,username,password,useremailaddress) {



  var url = https:// + server + /owa/ + useremailaddress + /auth/owaauth.dll; 

  var p = {destination:'https://' + server + '/owa/#path=/mail',flags:'0',forcedownlevel:'0',trusted:'0',isutf8:'1',username:domain + '\' + username,password:password};



  var myForm = document.createElement(form);

  myForm.method=post ;

  myForm.action = url ;



  for (var k in p) {



    var myInput = document.createElement(input) ;

    myInput.setAttribute(name, k) ;

    myInput.setAttribute(value, p[k]);

    myForm.appendChild(myInput) ;

  }





  document.body.appendChild(myForm) ;

  myForm.submit() ;

  document.body.removeChild(myForm) ;

}

</script>



<body onload=javascript:LoginToOWA('owa.exchange.com','domain','username','password','[email protected]');>
