You can implement session authentication in FW1. Better than nothing. Users have to enter 3-4 passwords but eventually they are more or less safely in.

Exchange 5.5 SP4 Well, we cutover our systems onto our new Cisco Network. Servers up, users happy. One problem is that users coming outside of the University can no longer connect to the Exchange server using Outlook unless they install a VPN client. There is now a firewall and it has been locked down for specific ports for each server for security reasons. Ports open right now are 80,443,25,110,135,143,389 for Exchange. I'm reading article Q176466 and it states that Exchange assigns random ports for the communication with the directory/information store and that you may need to statically allocate the ports. I think this may be my problem. Does anyone know the range of ports that are randomly assigned? I'm not in charge of the firewall, so bear with me on this.
