Don't force SSL encryption on your OWA server, however, use your
Firewall to pass only SSL traffic from outside of the company.  That
way, your internal users can still get to it without SSL, and at the
same time it will answer SSL traffic that passed on by FW from outside.
Make sure that you do NOT allow http access to the OWA from outside.

This should solve your problem.  However you need to realize that if
someone is trying to sniff password of your internal LAN, you will not
have any thing to prevent that from happenning without SSL.

Subject: Turning SSL on and off


I am running Exchange 2000 (soon to SP1) on Windows 2000Sp2.
I am having complaints from user in our NJ (we are in MD and are
connected via a full T1) site that the OWA is a bit slow due to the SSL
encryption. Is there a way to turn off the SSL for internal users, but
keep it on for external access. The Unix admin mentioned that he is able
to setup a website that can be accessed by http or https.
 
Thanks for any help.
