Topic: Remote use of outlook web access

[fergro]

Hi All

Have had a quick search on previous threads regarding OWA, found a couple that addressed similar problem to the one I have.  However needing a bit more info on how to fix the problem.

The problem is as follows:

From a couple of my clients offices and indeed my own users go out to the internet through an SME 6.01 box and need access to external Exchange servers. They can authentcate and the general body of the OWA page comes up folders on left hand side and toolbars at top. All these are functional, however on the right side pane it merely reads "loading" and never loads the detail. I have found at my office if I assign an external IP address to the computer that needs the access then I can get full detail. I do not really want to go down that path with clients.

Are there any other solutions to fix this issue, I did notice that one previous thread tried proxypass and it did not work.

Thanks in advance

RF,

It actually depends on how the host environment of the OWA server set theirt service up. I work in a school so I often have teachers accessing different OWA servers.

The one fix that worked definitively for (SME 6.0.1) me was this:

I created a directory for squid in templates-custom
type: mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf
Your custom fragments for squid should be created in this directory

I then created a file called 50extension_methods10SEARCH in squid.conf directory
using pico
type: pico 50extension_methods10SEARCH

file contained the single line below
extension_methods SEARCH
(thanks Derek)

saved it and then expanded the template
type: /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf

restarted squid services
type: service squid restart

Best regards,
Brian
