Can anyone explain how to setup ISA 2004 to allow active sync to be passed to our Exchange Front End server?<br />
<br />
The ISA 2004 server is in a DMZ and already has a OWA publishing rule that only allows HTTPS protocol.<br />
<br />
The problem is when an Iphone tries to pass thorugh isa it says Denied connection. In the ISA logs, it mentions <br />
client username: anonymous<br />
HTTP methid: OPTIONS<br />
Action: Denied connection<br />
<br />
Im not sure if we need to make any modifications to the current OWA publishing rules which works for standard OWA traffic.<br />
<br />
When we redirect our firewall directly ro the Exchange FE server we can get Activesync to work on iphone. <br />
<br />
This would mean that ISA is preventing access, Im struggling on what to look for on ISA. Please assist.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

Microsoft Forefront, formerly known as Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server), is a network router, firewall, antivirus program, VPN server and web cache that runs on Windows servers. It includes identity management and protection systems, and discontinued systems for threat management and network protection, along with protection for Sharepoint and Exchange. The scope of discussions includes forward and reverse proxy, application and service publishing, virtual private networks (VPNs), outbound access rules, SSL certificates and network routing within either a single node or an highly-available array pairing.

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.
