Thomas W Shinder has a tutorial on how to setup RPC over HTTPS on
ISAServer.org. I suggest you go and have a look there to see how it's
done.

limited functionality?

 

http://www.MSExchange.org/ 

I followed a step by step guide I found on at msexchange.org, but my
connection with the exchange server always times out. I can't find
anything in the error logs, access via OWA works just fine, the RPC
application on IIS is properly installed and the certificates are
installed locally (on the client that's trying to access) too. I can
connect via Outlook when connected to the VPN (same network as the
exchange server is in), but via RPC/HTTPS it's a nogo.

 

Are there any common pitfalls I'm missing? My server for instance has a
self signed certificate, i.e. it's manually added to the trusted root
certificates on the client. But IE for instance still brings up the
security alert (with the first two items green, and the third one yellow
("The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the
name of the site"), which is clear, because the server is known under a
different name from externally than internally.

 

Ideas anyone?


Thanks

        There are excellent docs at both MSExchange.org and
ISAServer.com.

        Yes, I'm using Exchange 2003. Any idea how RPC over HTTPS is
configured?

         

        thanks

                You don't mention what version of Exchange and/or AD
they have.
                
                RPC over HTTP(S) is an inherent feature in Exchange
2003.

                Hi all,
                 
                I have customers that are locked behind a firewall that
only lets HTTP and HTTPS traffic through. using OWA works nicely for
them, but some functionality is not available to them as they are using
IE rather than Outlook itself to access the Exchange server. Is there a
way to access the Exchange server with Outlook (not IE) over HTTP/HTTPS?
                 
                One of the main functionalities they're missing is the
ability to save messages to disk in batches (i.e. mark 20 messages and
save them). Any ideas how that can be done in OWA?
                 
                Thanks
