Ports to be opened for Excahange 2003 Reverse Proxy
Hi We are using 2 Exchange 2003 BE & 2 FE servers. All placed in internal network. Now we have a reverse proxy appliance placed in DMZ zone. All the features like Webmail, Active Sync and Rpc Over Https are working fine only when we open all ports in internal Firewall from the appliance to FE server. From the appliance we configured to communicate to FE server through port 443. We searched all over internet and didn't find any relevant docs. We expect your help to troubleshoot the issue Thanks in advance LMS

443 for sure and 80 to the CAS if you plan on doing HTTP to HTTPS redirect. You will also need to open up ports to the DC for authentication. LDAP ports: 389, 636 (TCP) Global catalog ports: 3268, 3269 (TCP) RPC services: 1025-5000 (TCP) RPC portmapper listener: 135 (TCP) Kerberos exchanges: 88 (TCP, UDP) James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Hi We opened the ports 80, 443, 6001,6002 & 6004 to FE servers from BC appliance and thus resolved all issues. Thanks all for the help LMS
