RE: Outlook Web Access

Application Layer Firewalls are good for protecting the many
vulnerabilities built into OWA.  Might be a good idea to check out some
of the folks there like Kavado, Teros, and Sanctum.

Cheers

John

We are still running Exchange 5.5 and until we start our Exchange 2003
migration we want to improve the way we are running Outlook Web Access
(OWA) in terms of security.  We use SSL.  We prohibit traffic to the box
other than port 80 and 443.  Other than the obvious recommendations of
using the recommended OWA install and hardening the OS where OWA is
running does the list have any other recommendations on protecting the
OWA box?  For instance, can OWA be configured to run on Linux/Apache
instead of Windows 2000/IIS5?

Thanks
