Yes, the Username and Password are set in the phone. I saw the missing 
user parameter too, sadly this is how the Exchnage Active Sync 
implementation works in the N900.

Found also an entry in the open-xchange forum about the same.

Quote open-xchange forum [0]:
"we fixed the reported issue with 6.16 which will be released very soon. 
The problem was, that the N900 client does not send any authentication 
data as a request parameter but only as auth-basic information. This is 
not usual for ActiveSync clients. In order to maintain compatibility, 
we've changed the handling to support such kinds of authentication."
