Access Portal proxy Exchange and RDWeb
Hello everyone,
we are testing Access Portal to secure the access to our hosted services like OWA (Outlook on the Web) and RDweb and we would like to add AuthPoint for MFA later.
But there are several problems we are encounting with this solution. Maybe someone here can help before I am submitting a ticket with the Watchguard support.
1. Forwarding user credentials from the Access Portal to OWA is not working. The user has to reenter their credentials in the OWA login screen after they already have successfully authenticated into Access Portal.
2. ActiveSync is not working. The Traffic Monitor shows something like " ...user was rejected or user doesn't exist". In my understanding request to /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync should be bypassed from Access Portal.
3. The new RDWeb HTML5 Client is not working. Does the reverse proxy in Access Portal even supports websocket connections?
Currently we are using Nginx as reverse proxy for all those services and it works without any problems. But Access Portal + AuthPoint looks like a good solution for easily implementing MFA for some webservices.

Hi @schwarzenbek
1 and 2
This will depend on what policies you have set up, and what version of Windows/IIS/Exchange you're running. If you're having issues with this, I would suggest opening a support ticket.

Point 1 & 3 is something im interested in as well.
Getting the access portal and authpoint authenticated directly with OWA would be nice.
Not like descript here: https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/Integration-Guides/AuthPoint/AccessPortal-reverse proxy-saml_authpoint-OWA.html?TocPath=AuthPoint|_____11
Not getting RDWeb HTML5 working as swell, a configuration manual or fix would be great If it’s possible to get this work with the reverse proxy.
