  2. Select the "Directory Security" tab and the click on the "Edit" button in the Secure Communication section.
  3. In the "Secure Communications" dialogue box (below), check the box "Require Secure Channel (SSL)", you could also check the box "Require 128-bit encryption", if you do check the 128-bit checkbox, any browsers that do not support 128-bit encryption will be unable to connect to OWA.

Server communications

When users enter http://ahost.adomain.com/exchange, they will receive an "HTTP 403.4 - Forbidden: SSL required Internet Information Services" error message, because OWA is configured to require SSL. SSL uses the HTTPS protocol, so users would need to enter the url as https://ahost.adomain.com/exchange. Please see the Microsoft article regarding forcing the use of SSL with OWA: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;234022

 

 

Save your virtual host file and restart Apache.

One final step that you may need to take is to ensure that your Firewall is configured to allow HTTPS (port 443 by default) to pass through.
