Re: ISA2004 RWW/OWA doesn't work



Hi Bubby:

Thank you for posting here! Also, many thanks for Susan¡¯s input.



Based on my experience, this issue can occur if the URL you use in the Web
browser to access OWA, RWW and other web sites that does not match the name
in ISA server 2004 web publishing rules. To resolve this issue, we must run
CEICW and specify the FQDN that you will use to access the sites as the web
server certificate. To do so:



1. On the SBS 2003 Server open the Server Management console. Go to Standard
Management\To Do List.



2. Click the "Connect to the Internet" link.



3. Choose not to change the connection type and click Next. On the Firewall
page, select "Enable firewall" and click Next (I suppose you have 2 network
adapters in SBS 2003).



4. On the "Services Configuration" page, select all the items and then click
Next.



5. On the "Web Services Configuration" page, make sure "Allow access to the
entire Web site from the Internet" is selected. If you select "Allow access
to only the following Web site services from the Internet", make sure both
the "Outlook Web Access" and "Remote Web Workplace" items are selected.
Click Next.



6. On the "Web Server Certificate" page, choose to create a new Web server
certificate and then type the public FQDN that you will use to access OWA
(for example, if your public FQDN that you use to access the sites is
mail.domain.com, you should type mail.domain.com as the new certificate
name). If you already requested a certificate with the name
"mail.domain.com" from a third party CA, you can choose "Use a Web server
certificate from a trusted authority" and then import the certificate.



7. Go through the remaining steps. The wizard will automatically configure
the SBS 2003 Basic Firewall to securely publish the two sites.



8. If you have a router or hardware firewall, configure it to forward
inbound traffic on TCP port 80 and 443 to the SBS server's external address.



9. Then check if you can access OWA and RWW using
https://mail.domain.com/exchange and https://mail.domain.com/remote.

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further concerns. I
look forward to hearing from you.



Enjoy your weekend! :)
