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.

Possible placement of OWA on DMZ of Pix 515E

Asked by ebwood74 in Exchange Email Server

Tags: owa, dmz, pix

I am deliberating, debating, and looking for a solution to allow public access to OWA for our company. I would like to accomplish a high level of security, by use of existing resources, minimize expenditures, and a seemlessly implemention.

We currently have a Cisco Pix 515 firewall with 3 interface cards, one for Internal, External, and DMZ. We have a SMTP server (running Symantec Mail Security for Gateways) in the dmz that scans email for virus' and spam, and if clean it is sent internally to our Exchange 2000 std. server. I do not want to touch the EX 2000 server, as it houses about 800 mail clients, as well it currently hosts OWA. We are not currently using ssl to the OWA site, but I would like to implement it. Currently we are port forwarding from the external interface of the pix on port 80 to the internal owa site on the exchange server. No hardening of the IIS, etc. has been done.

I am thinking of a modular approach, and installing another server to host OWA externally (DMZ). I have looked at various MS documents on "front end" exchange servers, and it looks like if I went that route, I would have to install Exchange 2003 std. and make it a front end server, that would sit on the DMZ. We currently have a license for EX 2003 Std. I also have read alot of recommendations for using ISA to reverse proxy to the OWA front end server. I am not a fan of this, and again, want to use what I have. I am concerned however of opening too many ports to my internal servers.

I have also read of folks using Linux/Apache and ISA to reverse proxy. As far as using linux, I am not sure I could recommend this to my boss, because we are a large MS shop, and no one there really knows unix that well. I might could get this going, I have experience with several different flavors of unix in past years.

I would appreciate any suggestions, comments, recommendations, or sample configurations that might point me in the right direction if I do choose to go forward with the exchange 2003 std as a front end server, on the DMZ of my pix. Please let me know if I need to provide any further detail...

Thanks,
