Hello ,
I have success in reverse proxy to OWA/Exch2K with Apache2, but I have another problem: in some parts of OWA (specifically in pages that they require NTFS authentication), I receive the following message:
Unknow authentication method.
I have too a https backend...
I search but I didnt find any solution, someone has some idea ???
With best regards,
Fabiano

We are having a similar problem and haven't solved it yet. I believe that the backend OWA server needs to have the original Host: header requested by the browser passed through. There's a proxy directive in Apache 2 called ProxyPreserveHost which sounds like it might do just that.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypreservehost
There's also a tech. note on Microsoft's web site that mentions that an HTTP header may have to be set, but it isn't clear whether this is required or not.

We tried to get end-to-end SSL working with reverse proxy and ran into
problems with Apache 1.3.26 (haven't tried with Apache 2 yet). Our backend
https connection must pass through a regular Apache 1.3.26 proxy (not a
reverse proxy) and this doesn't appear to be implemented. The ProxyRemote
method seems to malfunction for backend SSL connections. A direct (no
intermediary proxy) https backend connection does appear to work.
what we have experienced with OWA-Clients and Exchange is:
to avoid problems with IE5/6 you have to use Squid (with extensions methods) or Apache 2.0.4x
we have even tested 1.3.28dev (beg. Oct);
1.3.24 works with basic auth, but you have to add dav support getting the client to work with the inbox and other webmail functionality
Regards
