Hiya,

Communication between the firewall and the Exhange server is fine. The
Account managment client from firewall-1 can query the Directory when run
from the Firewall. The issue appears to be with the password authentication
part of the transaction. 

If I use client authentication the Firewall can resolve the username to the
relevant entry in the exchange address list i.e. it returns
cn=alias.name,cn=recipients,ou=site.name,o=directory.name 

when I give it the password associted with the NT account who owns the mail
box the authentication fails. I.e. Access Denied by Firewall-1
authentication.

The excact detail follows.

Check Point FireWall-1 Client Authentication Server running on #######
User: andy.martin

User DN     : CN=ANDY.MARTIN,CN=RECIPIENTS,OU=#######,O=#######
Account unit: #######LDAP
FireWall-1 password: *******
Access denied by FireWall-1 authentication

Cheers 

Andy

Martin,

What exactly is the error you get ?

Have you tried sniffing the line between your FW and the Exchange to see
what is going on ?

Are you sure the request is even getting to the Exchange, or back from there
?

Any routers in the real environment that aren't in the test etc ?

Just a few thoughts.

Mike
