Re: Internet access to Exchange for mobile phones.

Roger,

We have a BES server and Blackberrys. I had one until a couple of months
ago and it died (well sort of; the touch screen became very
unresponsive. You had to press REALLY hard and then I would come on and
immediately select what was right under what you were pressing...). Our
Verizon rep said he could get me the Android-X first day it was
available and it was cheaper. So they got me a loaner until the
Android-X came in.

I get the Android-X in and I was wondering how I was going to synch that
up with our BES and then I found you really didn't need to do anything;
it connects directly to the Exchange server. Really slick.

That what you are talking about?

Chuck

Subject: [PCTECH] Internet access to Exchange for mobile phones.

Hello,

I know my way around Domino fairly well but I have one customer that
switched to Exchange 2007 :'(

I was able to research and setup Apache as a reverse proxy in front of
OWA so the users could remotely access their email, calendars and
address books by the web. Now they want to setup an Android based phone
to access the same things via the built-in (?) Outlook like app. My
research on what needs to be opened/mapped in the firewall or additional
Apache directives is very confusing :-( Does any body have a recipe
type how-to link on setting this up securely? My alternative is to get
them to use IMAP and SMTP Auth (port 587) but they will grumble about
the calendar and address book.

Thanks.
