Re: RWW with no https

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

As Susan said, if you access RWW via HTTP, all your web traffic will be sent
in the clear (including passwords). RWW should still work but a major
security component will be lost. Changing the RWW port will not compensate
for this.

So just so we are all clear, RWW HAS to go over HTTPS. There is no
way around that? Even if I do https but port 8080 would not matter
correct?
Thanks

Yes I use Kerio for the 75GB limitation Exchange has but I dont want

I agree, except I silently assumed he had some valid reason. Perhaps
the two are unrelated systems, i.e., SBS for one domain, Kerio for
another. Or maybe using Kerio to get more than 75 limit. We won't know
until he chimes in with details.

Or dump Kerio Mail Server since you have the same capabilities in
Exchange ;-)

A report from dnsstuff.com indicates that you have Kerio Mail Server.
Would
it not be easier to change Kerio's ports
(http://support.kerio.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kb...)
than to hack SBS?

I can not use https. Https goes to a different server running
webmail. Maybe I am confused or wrong but you cant have to servers
behind a firewall running https and allow outside connections in. I
know if its over http and at port 8080 that will work, or at least I
think I am correct. I am not running SBS 2008, I have 2003. Yes 4125
is now changed to 8080 in the registry but I am not following you on
the proxy part.
Thanks

What is the issue around connecting to the RWW site via SSL? You're
users
don't like the popup security warning? Or they don't want to take the
time
to install the certificate on they're local machine to make those
warnings
go away.

SBS 2008 absolutely requires connection by SSL and you won't be able
to
get to the desktops without the certificate on the remote box

I basically want to run Remote web workplace over the standard web
port but going to port 8080. I have what I thought changed the
registry setting for RWW from 4125 to 8080 but I want to run the site
by http and not https. Is this possible?

Prob is Ross is that all of that network traffic would be going over an
insecure connection.

Usernames
Passwords

changing the 4125 control port to 8080 just changes the control port not
the SSL binding ports.

Typically you can only have one SSL port bound to an IP address, so
without a second IP, an SSL connection isn't possible.
