RE: Configuring LDAP on Entourage 2004 OS X

Hi Robbie,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.

From your description, I understand that you want to know if LDAP can work
from internet in the SBS 2003 network. If I am off base, please don't
hesitate to let me know.

Typically when we connect to Exchange and Active Directory from the
Internet, we have to go through a firewall. Firewalls usually block LDAP
traffic from the Internet, thus Entourage users can't access Active
Directory. If you opened the LDAP port(s), Entourage users would be able to
connect, but the internal network's attack surface would be greater and
they are critical ports. It is not recommended that you open LDAP ports in
firewall.

For more detail information, you can take a look at the following article:
Service overview and network port requirements for the Windows Server system
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=832017

To access Exchange server from internet on Entourage 2004 OS X, you can
setup VPN connection to access it (As you known); trough OWA site
(https://serverPublicFQDN/exchange); or setup Pop3 email account or an IMAP
E-mail Account in Entourage, You can check the following article to get
detail steps:

To allow Entourage connect to Exchange server using SSL, you may check the
following steps:

Hi all,

This forum is truly proving invaluable :)

Does anyone know if LDAP can be configured to work using a server address
such as https://myservernameurl/exchange ?

I can make it work using the server's name on the LAN but then I'd have to
VPN to the LAN in order for LDAP to work.

I'm wondering if the issue is that the LDAP port is locked down externally
to the network so that if I want GAL lookups externally I'd either have to
open up the port (ACK) or VPN (also ACK).

Hmmmm, it'd be really neat if I could get this working using https. Anyone
know if it can be made to work ?

Robbie
