OWA and web server

[tim55]

We have a web server, a new 2011 SBS server and one public ip address. Our router NAT table maps port 80 to the web server and although port 443 maps to the 2011 SBS server, we cannot get OWA. We can get it internally but not externally.

Can this be done without resorting to another public ip address?

Thanks.

I have tried on a 2003 SBS server and I think I may have misled myself.

Going to

https://mail.domain.com/exchange

works fine with port 80 forwarding disabled (I assumed port 80 was also needed). So, all that is needed is port 443 forwarded and it should work, regardless of the web server.

So the question then is why can't I get OWA remotely? It is a self signed certificate generated during the Connect to the Internet setup wizard, which is exactly what was done on the 2003 SBS setup.

If you try going to

https://<ip

address>/Exchange from the outside, does it work? If not, what's the error?

Thanks. I'm trying

https://mail.domain.com/owa

and

https://ipaddress/owa

and I just get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

Okay. If it works internally and not externally, then it's a firewall/router/gateway issue.

You could look in the IIS logs and see if there is a connection being made, but I suspect there isn't.
