What firewall are you using?

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
