I'm not able to get to the 'you created a service' page.

If I go to:

https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx

I'm prompted for a username + password. These are not my actual username + password, as those don't work. I believe if I was able to set up an application-specific password.. I'd be able to use that as the password. Unfortunately, those are disallowed per my administrator. When I abandon the attempted sign-in, I get the butter-y yellow page that I'd expect for an EWS site.
