Forwarding 443

« on: July 16, 2003, 08:25:50 PM »

Hi:
I was wondering if anyone has tried forwarding port 443 to a machine on the internal network. I've been forced to get an Exchange server, basically for the shared calendars, and want to use OWA (Outlook Web Access) also. I'd really like to keep my trusty SME box in place, set the Exchange box as delegate mail server, and just forward 443 to allow the webmail access. I'm not sure what I'd need to do to stop Apache listening on 443, though, and I haven't found any threads on this. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bobby

when you get it working dont suppose you could let us all know what the pitfalls are? this has been a fairly regularly requested subject... a how to would be excellent

Right now I'm still using 5.5 since I need to be able to PPTP in and out. Once I started it was really easy - I created an empty file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/35SSL00Listen443, expanded the template (/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
) and restarted httpd. This stopped Apache listening on 443. I installed the Portforward panel from http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/mitel/contrib/portforwarding/ and forwarded 443 to my internal server & it worked great. I'm going to be setting up the new Exchange box this weekend, I'll update if I discover any pitfalls.
