As front-end server (webmail) - Running windows 2003 svr w/ exchange 2003 svr. As Back-End server. (exchange) - Have enabled webmail server as front-end server. Stopped store services. - Enabled basic authentication on front-end server, and added value \ so this way users don't have to add the domain name when logging on. - FE server is behind firewall with BE server. - If I type in http://webmail.ad.papistas.gr/exchange I get pop-up for username & password. This is great, now I can see my mailbox. - Now the tricky stuff I think.....I tried adding SSL, and no luck. When I try to open the link it says I need to add https:// in front of url to access mailbox. Tried and not accessible. Am I missing something? I ran the configs from top to bottom, and all seems in place. - Also need some good direction for next steps to follow. For example, If an external client tries to access their OWA mail from the internet, can I have my front-end server as http://webmail.ad.papistas.gr/exchange, and a DNS entry on my ISP's DNS server as http://webmail.papistas.gr that will redirect to http://webmail.ad.papistas.gr/exchange ? Someone told me to just create another HTTP virtual server, I tried, but was getting all kinds of errors that the IP I assigned was already in use by another virtual server.

ISA is not needed, just highly recommended by a lot of list members. I don't use it myself, so I know you can make it work with any number or security solutions on the front-end. I would still try to stay away from putting the FE server in the DMZ if at all possible. Opening the necessary ports between FE and BE servers will cause your firewall to end up looking like it had a shotgun taken to it. Neither fun or easy to setup up originally, or troubleshoot down the road. Just my opinion though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 11:38 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: EXCHANGE BACK-END FRONT-END SETUP ISA makes publishing OWA, POP and IMAP easy. It will also handle the forms-based authentication itself if you want it to. However other web publishing appliances can work well, so if you have one, It's not a bad idea to try to make it work before buying ISA.

Running exchange 2003, but not using ISA. Running a Symantec 5420 integrated security appliance. Benefits with ISA? I'm assuming it can handle authentications and more? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Vander Kooi Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 6:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: EXCHANGE BACK-END FRONT-END SETUP You don't mention which version of Exchange you are running, but assuming it is 2003 you really should read the Front-End and Back-End Topology document here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/defau lt.mspx You also don't mention whether you are using ISA in the setup. I believe that you will find that the consensus from this list is to place your FE server on your internal LAN with the BE server and use ISA as the firewall. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kondilis Paul Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 6:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: EXCHANGE BACK-END FRONT-END SETUP Hey Guys,.... I'm installing an exchange front-end server to run OWA, & OMA..... Just out of curiosity....should the server be joined to the domain? If I do name him, any good ideas on what schema I should follow? Front-End server will sit outside my lan, in the DMZ. Also, I'm planning on installing SSL & using certificates...should I install the certificates on the front-end server?
