Can I Capture Outlook Login Details With no Login Page in APM?
I'm working with a customer that wants to use APM to handle some more granular access to their Exchange 2016 servers that are being load balanced by LTM. Is there a way I can create an access policy that can determine the user or UID of a user when they attempt to connect to exchange through Outlook? They want to make it so certain users do not have access to Exchange based on their IP and an AD attribute. If i were just IP it would be easy enough. I can't figure out how to capture any username information without having a login page. Any ideas?
Email drop when using Outlook mobile app and email server is behind f5 ltm
I am having an email server behind ltm. I have an ltm box which is acting as a Link load balancer. I have configured a performance Layer4 virtual server on f5 ltm with a pool member of actual email server. The problem is users send an email using outlook mobile application, then the mail drops sometime and it gets stored in the draft folder but if i use any other email client in mobile, then their is no challenge, all mails pass through. Need to know what is the root cause?
Issue regarding Outlook for android/ios (Oauth) to on-prem exchange behind BIG-IP LTM
Are there any caveats with Outlook for android and IOS when hybrid modern authentication is enabled and only using the LTM module? The outlook app is unable to add the mailaccount which is on-premise exchange 2016. About: iApp is based on template f5.microsoft_exchange_2016.v1.0.2 BIG-IP ver 12+ using LTM only SSL bridging is utilized Authentication method = ADFS Outlook app config+architecture : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients/outlook-for-ios-and-android/use-hybrid-modern-auth?view=exchserver-2016 It works just fine when Azure's autodetect service communicates directly with an exchange server (no load balancer in front) It also worked with basic authentication with the load balancer in front. The only debug hints i got, is from the Test-HMAEAS.ps1 script (https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Validating-Hybrid-Modern-ad4c2b16) Output from that script looks like this on the picture (the part with black strikethrough is what i'm missing) Anyone who can point me in the right direction?
Secure connection via F5 LTM towards Office 365 cloud
We are using Big IP ADC as an HTTPS proxy towards Exchange servers. This is due the fact that our client which needs to fetch calendar information from our customer exchange servers does not support HTTPS protocol. Exchange servers are located in Internet so we need to encrypt the connection This works perfectly well with HTTP VIP and physical exchange server specified behind that VIP with IP address on port 443. However now many of our customers are replacing physical servers with office 365 cloud. Service address to cloud is https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx Is there any simple way to build a secure connection to Outlook cloud using F5 LTM? And how should I monitor the connection? We are using F5-BIG-LTM-2000S with software 11.2.1 Build 862.0 Hotfix HF2. Thanks, Jari
Outlook 2003 UDP Notifications
Hello all We are currently testing a solution and have hit a snag. We are deploying Exchange 2010 but need to support clients that use Outlook 2003. I am no expert in MS Exchange, however, one of the server guys has said that UDP notifications from server to client are failing. as I understand it the client and server will agree initially that the server will notify the client of any new email using a particular port and this is done via UDP. Now, in terms of our F5 config, it's pretty standard. We used the EX2010 iApp and client > server flows are all good. We have not, however, catered for these server>client notifications. Clearly, if the server is sending the UDP messages to the client, it hits the F5, which understandably drops it as it does not know where to send the packet. I am hoping in the long history of Microsoft Exchange, F5 load balancing etc. that this situation has been encountered. If so, can anyone shed some light on a possible solution? Many thanks
