Securing OWA????

[mrlucio79]

Currently we are using Exchange 5.5 OWA internally. I now want to access OWA from the internet. Currently my setup consist of Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, Windows Option Pack 4.0, and Exchange/OWA 5.5 SP4. What steps do i need to take to make this setup heavily secured? All advice is welcomed... :0)

I would suggest implementing vpn or ssl in combination with OWA>

robnhood, thanks for the link. I was wondering if you had a doc or link that has good instructions on how to configure OWA Exchange 5.5 internally and externally. I would like to double check my setup.

 

[Robnhood]

I will have to check.

The recommended setups that I have seen often involve setting up OWA on a server (In the DMZ) that connects to the exchange server (internal).
