The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

IPhone and Server 2003 Mobile ActiveSync with SSL-- need some help

Asked by stevensims in iPhone, Microsoft IIS Web Server, Exchange Email Server

Tags: Microsoft, Exchange, 2003, Apple, IPhone, 3G

I have had a hell of a time getting the IPhone 3G working with our Exchange Server. After finally doing many searches I have gotten it to work but at a cost. It seems that SSL has to be disabled on the Exchange virtual directory and the ActiveSync virtual Directory (If you automatically redirect the default Websiter to Exchange that has to have the SSL removed too). You also have to uncheck Web Authentication form under HTTP in ESM.

It appears that the IPhone ActiveSync is more geared towards companies that have a front end / back end exchange servers. The front end has the SSL enabled while the backend has no SSL. This willl allow the activesync and OWA to always be secure when going to the user or vice versa-- ActivSync does not have a problem if the frontend is using SSL.

So with that, my company only has one Exchange server. Currently, i have removed the SSL function from the Exchange virtual directory and unchecked the Web Authentication form since my Executives needed their emails to come in on their new IPhones. I dont plan on having SSL down for too long-- most employees dont use OWA all that much so the securty issue isnt huge--yet.

I have read that microsoft has a fix that the user creates a new Exchange virtual directory. with a modification to the Registry Activesync will not look at the original and only the newly created one. This will allow OWA to be secured and not conflict with Activesync.

Has anyone had a chance to verify this fix? Is SSL the only way to secure OWA email?
