owa 2010 extension question

Thanks all for your help first.

I'm setting up ev9.03 with exchange 2010sp2

- owa 2010 extension is installed to exchange 2010 cas server

- I install TMG to publish owa and outlook anywhere connection from internet.

 

First, I test the owa connection from internal network, the result as follow:

- all connection should be in HTTPS

- I can open archived email

- I can open archive explorer link and open archived email there

- On Win7 client, when I click the "Search archive" buttion, it dispaly a prompt

 " Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely? Theis webpage contains that will not be delivered using secure HTTS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage."

- when I click yes, the "Search Archives" page can not be displayed?

- when i click no, the "Search Archives" page can be displayed?

Question 1, why the "Search Archives" link page not using HTTS connection?

 

Second, I test it on internet client via TMG to connect to the exch2010 cas server:

- I can open the arhived email

- both "Archive Explorer" and "Search Archives" not work, expected page can't be display.

- I already publish /Enterprisevault/* folder in TMG server

- the "External Web Application URL" in EV owa policy is set to: <https>/enterprisevault

Question 2, How can I troubleshoot this issue?

 

Thanks again.

  • For the external access to work (and use the external URL), you need to put the IP address of the TMG server in the EnterpriseVault_ExternalIPAddresses setting. This will then trigger the extensions to use the external URL for any client coming through the TMG server.

    There is an article on using internal/external urls for OWA. Search for TECH63250

  • Thanks all your help, I finally make it works. You all are very helpful.

    - add a sepearte rule for EV only using same listener with owa

    - add a link translation according LCT instruction.

        eg. http://evserver.test.com  replace with https://cas.test.com

    - set EnterpriseVault_ExternalIPAddresses to my TMG server IP address

    And I have some questions still not very clear:

    1. EV server is published to internet via TMG?

    2. Internet users can access EV server's "Archive Explorer" and "Serach Archvies" directly via TMG?

    3. Access logic flow: user ->owa  -> when user click "AE" and SA" link: Does User access directly to EV server or CAS server  will access the EV server on behalf of user and pass the return to user?

    4. during create the rule for EV, I choose non secure connection (http) and add a link translation in this rule:  Does All connection are https in this setup?

     

    Thanks

  • 1. Yes, the enterprisevault virtual directory is published

    2. Yes

    3. AE and search will be accessed client -> TMG -> EV, no CAS involvement (until items are opened)

    4. If you have an SSL cert on your EV server you could use https. This is configuring the connction from TMG to EV, i.e. on your internal network. The connection from client to TMG is determined by the listener.

     

    Hope that helps
