HTTPS settings for Activesync

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.
