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.

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. -- Vinny Avallone System Administrator (410) 872-1535 _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
