HTTPS settings for Activesync

SkyJaxxSkyJaxx
in Firebox - Proxies

I noticed recently there is a knowledge base article that shows how to configure a https proxy for Outlook web access. Is there an equivalent article on settings for activesync? Does anyone know the what settings to use to successfully "inspect" acticesync connections?

    Are you asking about Exchange Activesync
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_ActiveSync
    or ActiveSync
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveSync

    Exchange ActiveSync uses a proprietary protocol, which suggests that it does not conform to the HTTP protocol, and thus would not be able to be Inspected using the HTTPS proxy.

    Sorry, was interested in Exchange Activesync. Is there a good way to secure this service as it would generally come in on the same policy as Exchange OWA?

    Probably not.
    As I said above - Exchange ActiveSync uses a proprietary protocol, which suggests that it does not conform to the HTTP protocol, and thus would not be able to be Inspected using the HTTPS proxy.

    We just setup the inbound proxy for Exchange and I tested it by trying to send the eicar test file through it and the Firebox policy did block it.
