My client has Windows Server 2016 with Essentials Experience enabled (WSE), and an internal Exchange server. The Exchange server is integrated on the WSE Dashboard. To resolve a Message Transfer Agent and firewall issue, I created separate IPs, URLs, and certificate SANs for email traffic (mail.x.com) and owa (web2.x.com). The firewall sends only smtp traffic to mail.x.com and only https traffic to web2.x.com.
The Check Email tile on the Remote Web Access screen shows the mail server URL (mail.x.com), OWA does not load when the tile is clicked, it goes to the mail server URL, not the OWA URL. My question: does the WSE wizard for Exchange server integration get the OWA URL from the virtual directories settings in the Exchange server? If so, what would be the ramifications of changing the Exchange virtual directory setting for OWA to the other valid URL (web2.x.com)? I think it would be simpler to change the OWA URL entry in a WSE web page configuration file, but have not been able to find where to do so.
Correction: When the Check Email tile is clicked, it does go to the URL shown in the OWA virtual directory entries (mail.x.com), which is now blocked to https traffic.
Hello Dick,
The easiest way to accomplish this is to create a URL rewrite rule for domainA to domainB I think.
Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean by a rewrite rule.
