Connecting Iphone through SA2000 to Exchange server

[Monkeyman_]

Hi, I have a SA2000 running 6.5R1 (build 14599)

I have a few users with new Iphones who need to connect back to an Exchange server over https

I have seen a few articles on the web about doing this, but I cant get the traffic to flow

Is there anyone that has successfully got this working??

Any help appreciated

Hi,

do you mean

• an ActiveSync connection to your Exchange server,
• OWA ("Outlook Web Access") or
• RPC over HTTPS ?

ActiveSync works fine. It's setup is quite simple:

• You'll need a separate external IP (and Certificate).
• Define "Authorization Only Access" with that URL,
• point the backend URL to your Exchange server. Something like http://your.exchange.server.com/ (or https://... if your Exchange uses HTTPS),
• set "Authorization Server" to "no authorization" and
• associate a Role that allows HTTP or HTTPS to your Exchange server.
• To protect you Exchange set "Allow ActiveSync Traffic Only".

See the "Adman Guide" for further details.

It works fine, at least with 6.4 and 6.5. In 6.5 it won't work in a virtual IVS.

OWA should work as well, but I expect the web interface to be very uncomfortable on that small screen.

I guess there is no Exchange client for the iPhone that can use RPC-over-HTTPS like Outlook for Windows or Entourage for Mac an Linux.

Hope this helps.

Do you see the user connections successfully in the user access log (if yes, does it say success/failure/denied)? Does the role you assigned on the authorization-only URL configuration screen have a web ACL to allow access to the Exchange server? Does your firewall/router in front of the IVE (if any) report connection concerns? Can you see the traffic attempt on the IVE TCP dump if you sniff for user login attempts?
