Exchange iapp for multiple Exchange servers (different customers)

    Misty,

     

    This morning I successfully tested deploying two separate Exchange environments behind a single BIG-IP running APM. I can think of at least two features required by this solution that are only available in BIG-IP v11.3 and above, which are the AAA server pool and client-initiated forms SSO.

     

     

    You will also want to use the latest version of the iApp, RC3, which we expect to release in the next day or so. Can you send me a private message on DevCentral with your email contact info? I can let you know as soon as that RC has been declared.

I just wanted to bump this. After a long time of this being open with F5 support I was essentially told that the iApp doesn't support multiple exchange servers configurations and I could try to build it myself or pro service consultants.

 

 

If it doesn't work it shouldn't let you even try to create a second iApp so you don't break your production/working environment like I did. I'm really surprised this doesn't come up more often. I can see all kinds of reasons to create a second even without multiple customers.

 

 

So if anyone ever run into this and figures out how to fix it please post. I pretty much have to leave those customers on Firepass until its fixed or we just take F5 out of the picture and put these servers in a DMZ.
