Exchange 2016 APM outlook anywhere

Hi!

 

i have an exchange 2016 deployed with iapp : bigip ver 12.1 owa and activesync working. outlook anywhere is not working. when i try to configure outlook 2016 to use an exchange 2016 mailbox i get prompt for password . after i typing the password a get a message:

 

The connection to microsoft exchange is unavailable.Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action. i think it's something related to outlook anywhere authentication.

 

i have attached screen shots from outlook,iapp,exchnage profile.

 

whats wrong ? Thanks, Aviv Hassidim

  • if i change the autodiscover auth to basic and add this irule and then configure outlook with an account. it look like it works but after the restart of outlook ,i get an error : the connection to microsoft exchange is unavalabile

     

     

     

    irule:

     

    priority 1 when HTTP_REQUEST { set is_disabled 0 switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] { "/ews/mrsproxy.svc" - "/ews/exchange.asmx/wssecurity" { set is_disabled 1 set path [HTTP::path] ACCESS::disable HTTP::path _disable-$path pool Ex2016FromInternet_ews_pool7 } "/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc/wssecurity" - "/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc" { set is_disabled 1 set path [HTTP::path] ACCESS::disable HTTP::path _disable-$path pool Ex2016FromInternet_ad_pool7 } } } when HTTP_REQUEST_RELEASE { if { [info exists is_disabled] && $is_disabled == 0 } { return } if { [info exists path] } { HTTP::path $path unset is_disabled unset path } }

     

  • Hello,

     

    do you have any update ? I have issues with a F5 Exchange 2016 deployment as well. For example I try to access my OWA, I get landing page, login and I get an empy page with webmail/owa/sessiondata.ashx ... and when I clear the sessiondata.ashx ... to just only webmail/owa I get directly access to my OWA ! My deployment looks almost the same as yours ! Maybe you have some hints for me ?

     

    best regards Manuel

      Hi all

       

      Too bad there is no help on behalf of F5 for this post, it's a common issue in APM . Aviv were you able to find a solution for it ?
