Problems with Exchange 2010 and NginX reverse proxy

JaredBusch

At this point I think I will just add another of the IP addressed the client owns to their router and put owncloud there behind the proxy and then any new things can use that too.

What are you protecting exchange with?

Just found this post.

I will certainly be trying this out with a client that has Exchange 2013.

Missed following up on this question. This client uses Google Message Security that was migrated in from Postini.

Not using them. As I just stated, I just found them and will try it out.

Have you run the remote connectivity analyzer?

Umm, why?

I am not having any connectivity issues. The problem with a proxy and Exchange is how Exchange handles ActiveSync and OutlookAnywhere. These are well known issues that are well documented when you try to implement a proxy.

nadnerB

Whoops, I misread part of your OP. Never mind.

JaredBusch

I have a new solution to try maybe tomorrow.

no one has tried to get nginx-extras into a mainstream or alternate repo, so I may roll a Debian proxy just because. I hate to mix OS like this, though. Keeps things simpler when everything is the same OS, no technical reasoning.

JaredBusch

So before I go and spin up an Ubuntu 17.04 VM, does anyone know of any methods to get the stuff that nginx-extras adds on Debian to a Fedora based install?

Other then compiling it from source? I don't think so.

Looks like Copr has it.

Except it says build failed?

That's just for Fedora 22. If you look at the log it show it has build successfully for 25 and 26.

Ah, just clicked his link..

@JaredBusch Actually it only show successful for Fedora 24 and 26 not 25. That's odd.

Yeah, 25 appears to be SKIPPED.

JaredBusch

I'll toss a test 26 system up, no problem.

~~How do I enable a copr package though? My google is failing.~~

N/m found it on the right of the screen.

dnf copr enable a15/NGINX-extras
