OWA Question

[kidem]

OK..just want to make sure im correct here,about OWA ports from internet to firewall.

OS = WINDOWS 2003 SBS
FW = PIX

Port 80 needs opened?
https 443 needs opened (if using SSL)?
Also i can static map a port instead of 80 if i want to tell the users the port instead of 80 correct. ?

Now HTTPS/443 do i also need 80 opened with this opened?

Thanks Guys

We only have 443 opened on ours. If you are inside the firewall and you go to port 80, it will throw and error and tell you that you need to be on "https".

If you are outside the firewall and try it, the firewall just blocks the response.

Everything you said there looks right.
We don't map anywhere else right now, so I can't give you a real world example with that - but I have in the past mapped IIS and firwalls over to other ports and it was trivial - I don't see why Exchange's OWA would be any different (it is just another web app on the server).
