OWA /can't access OWA via https:from outside my firewall
Hi,
I am attempting to access OWA via https. I am able to access it via http: from both inside and outside my firewall (Netscreen 5GT). I'm able to access OWA via https: from inside the firewall, but not from outside the firewall.
I have enabled the following ports in a policy on the firewall:
80, 8443 (changed from 443), 135, 995, 25
I would appreciate some help on this, please.
Thanks,
Bostechie

Wow, this is quite a thread. :)

The boss wanted to change 443 to 8443 for the reason you stated, I supppose.
80 is open only while setting up/ testing and will be closed today.
I assume the cert is installed/enabled properly since I can access OWA via https internally.
I am running Exchange 2000 (failed to mention this). Does the RPC over HTTP still apply?

I tried to discourage him from changing the port, but you know how it is with bosses sometimes. Afeter lot's of time ($$$) and aggravation I convinced him to let me go back to 443 and what do you know we where able to open the port in the firewall and all is now well. They never listen!
Thanks for all your feedback.
