    First of all, a big thank you for the continued development of this deployment guide. It serves as an excellent reference.

     

     

    I have a few concerns I'd like to mention.

     

     

    The "Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" value will never be hit because of the lowercase conversion here:

     

     

     

     

    switch -glob -- [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {

     

    "/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" {

     

     

     

     

    Also, why are "/ews*" and "/oab*" in the iRule but no explicit reference to "/owa*"?

     

     

    Finally, my pcaps include many calls to "/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml" which is not in the iRule and none to "/xml/autodiscover.aspx" which is.

     

     

    - Jeli

    hi Jeli, I believe there's no reference to /owa because it should fall through to the default case at the bottom of the rule.

     

     

    About the autodiscover URI and lowercase conversion-we will check the configuration and make adjustments as necessary. Thanks for your input on this.
