I was unable to get it to work via reverse proxy, so I set up a second site in IIS to host just OWA/Acivesync (essentially like method #2 in <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817379" rel="nofollow">this Microsoft KB</a>) . I ran that site on obscure high ports (both http & https), and port forwarded from our firewall to the internal IP of the server. I guess if you're only hosting OWA and didn't have other sites on IIS you're concerned about exposing to the outside world you could just forward obscure high ports on your firewall box to the standard port 80 & 443 on your OWA server. I now have a Treo 700W. I initially set it up using non-SSL. After exporting the SSL certificate to a file and installing it on my phone it was simple to switch to SSL and turn of non-SSL OWA. Hope this helps, Chris Sorry I didn’t explain that very well.

I did not understand how you were able to proxy the integrated windows authentication (kerberos, ntlm or whatever) through apache. Is it only possible on higher ports? Or did you make the mobile device allow connections with basic auth? Please forgive me for this possibly stupid question. Regards, Christoph Kling Dear Chris,
