Hello All! I have recently been dropped into the role of the Apache Tomcat and HTTPD "go-to" guy within our company as I am the most familiar with the inner-workings of our enterprise Apache reverse proxy environment. I am by no means a subject matter expert and all knowledge I have gained thus far has been "trial by fire." One of the many questions that was posed to me (as I understand it) was that in order for our company to transfer from Blackberry phones to Windows 8 phones, if we could leverage our existing Apache 2.2.x reverse proxy architecture to pass client certificates from a Windows 8 Mobile phone through Exchange Active Sync v14 ultimately accessing email through outlook web access (OWA). I am now in the research stages and what I have found so far is:
1) There is an issue with the RPC that is difficult and in most cases impossible to solve in Apache 2.2.x without a two solution approach via Apache 2.0.x or utilizing squid 2) Even if the solution has been possible, there's been a huge performance hit which in most business cases, would be unacceptable. 3) Most of the solutions that I have found so far has included abandoning Apache for Squid, IIS, or Microsoft Forefront UAG. Our company does have access to all of those technologies, however, I would like to leverage the infrastructure that I have and ultimately learn more about Apache HTTPD. My questions to the user community are: 1) Is there a pure, one tier Apache 2.2 or 2.4 solution to providing a secure, stable, yet high performing way to handle the RPC to OWA? 2) If there is not a solution yet, can this theoretically be accomplished via an Apache 2.2.x/Apache 2.4.x environment? If so, I will start configuring my current environment and will document my process. I am more than willing to share with the user community my findings and configurations. Lastly, I would like to thank the user community for any assistance or guidance provided to me in advance. Thanks, Scott Hardegree --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
