Dear Mates

We wish to make available microsoft outlook to our employees, so I would like know based on your experience how the services bellow could be published using a check point firewall.

1. Exchange owa

2. Active sync

3. Autodiscovery

If you have already implemented this, kindly share your experience.

Your help will be kindly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Di_Junior,

Though I haven't set up the interesting configuration from scratch, I would start by consulting Microsoft's official documentation such as the following:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/plan-and-deploy/deployment-ref/network-ports?view=exchserver-2019

Then, based on the documentation above along with the specific needs of your environment, I would proceed to configuring the appropriate firewall rules. You will most likely need to configure application control rules too along with some NATing.

I think this calls for an entire project really and it can't be answered quickly but I would welcome the opportunity for another member to suggest a quick suggestion if possible.

Pretty sure the first two can be made available using Mobile Access Blade.

This should be covered in the Mobile Access Administration Guide for your particular gateway version.
For example: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R80.30/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R80.30_MobileAccess_AdminGuide/html_frameset.htm
