Hi,
>...Maybe I'm completely wrong.....
I was completely wrong in fact. The problem I found to be the=20
authentication type on IIS. Googling I found that Windows authentication is=
=20
not supported with reverse proxy, so the only type accepted and working is=
=20
plain-text. This is obviously not nice, and lead me to set up an SSL=20
connection to the page, building a certificate with openssl.
So now, the front-end gateway is listening on both ports 80 and 443, but=20
reverse proxy is done only on port 443.
I am pretty satisfied with this solution, if I should not, well,=20
suggestions are welcome ;-)
If anyone is interested in more detailed info, just send an email.
Thanks for the help with this set up and for pointing me in the right=20
(reverse proxy) direction.
Have a nice day
Simone

Hi,<br>

I was completely wrong in fact. The problem I found to be the
authentication type on IIS. Googling I found that Windows authentication
is not supported with reverse proxy, so the only type accepted and
working is plain-text. This is obviously not nice, and lead me to set up
an SSL connection to the page, building a certificate with openssl.<br>
So now, the front-end gateway is listening on both ports 80 and 443, but
reverse proxy is done only on port 443.<br>
I am pretty satisfied with this solution, if I should not, well,
suggestions are welcome ;-)<br><br>

email.<br><br>
Thanks for the help with this set up and for pointing me in the right

tried reverse proxy, it works till I get the authentication page, then I
get a "Cannot find server". It looks like the proxy is working
fine, but it cannot reverse the page generated by the Exchange server.
The page is for ex.
<a href=3D"http://mail.server/exchange" eudora=3D"autourl">http://mail.serve=
r/exchange</a>
and there I get the login prompt. If I authenticate directly on this page=
(not through apache), then the page name doesn't change, but the main frame=
information gives me <a=
href=3D"http://mail/server/exchange/username/Inbox/?Cmd=3Dcontents"=
eudora=3D"autourl">http://mail/server/exchange/username/Inbox/?Cmd=3Dconten=
ts</a>. I think since the page name is not changed apache can't load the=
Inbox.<br>
Maybe I'm completely wrong, and I'll certainly google to find an answer, but=
if anyone has a suggestion it would be very appreciated.<br><br>
Thanks, have a nice day<br>
