Re: EX2K3 SP2: RPC over HTTPS without AD2003?

Thanks for the replies. What I've read is that the Cisco ASA devices support
MAPI through WebVPN (or Clientless SSL VPN) as an Outlook/Exchange proxy. In
the absense of RPC over HTTPS as an option for now, I'd like to see if this
will be able to allow users not directly connected to the LAN connect to a
MAPI client using the ASA's MAPI support.

Re: EX2K3 SP2: RPC over HTTPS without AD2003?

From Cisco's link on the ASA,

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configur ation_example09186a00806ea271.shtml

it states "Users can achieve secure browser-based access to corporate
resources at anytime". From what I read and understand per the link, this
is only for OWA not MAPI. I did not read anything about MAPI through this
browser based WebVPN.
