Exchange 2010: How to redirect non-SSL Outlook Web App traffic to SSL
With Outlook Web App being an outwardly facing service that relies on the use of your organization’s internal credentials, it’s important to make sure that miscreants don’t get access to your security jewels — individual usernames and passwords. Using SSL for this traffic protects your organization and your users.
In this Exchange 2010 tutorial, I focus on how to make sure that users who visit http://webmail.yourorg.com are automatically redirected to https://webmail.yourorg.com/owa. I will not be covering the SSL certificate provisioning and installation process.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Log into your Exchange 2010 server with a user account that has administrative rights on the server.
2. Go to Start | Administrative Tools | Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. This opens the IIS7 manager, which is used by Exchange’s Client Access Server role.
3. Once you’re in the IIS Manager tool, expand your computer link, choose Sites, and then select the Default Web Site option.
4. From the Features View, choose the HTTP Redirect option (Figure A).
Figure A
Choose the HTTP Redirect option
5. When you get to the HTTP Redirect page, do the following:
- Select the checkbox next to Redirect Requests To This Destination heading.
- In the box below, type in the full address - including HTTPS - for the site to which you’d like to redirect traffic. This would be the format: https://webmail.yourorg.com/owa.
- Make sure you also select the checkbox next to Only Redirect Requests To content In This Directory (Not Subdirectories). If you fail to do this, you’ll break some other functionality.
- In the Actions pane, click the Apply link to save your changes.
Your HTTP Redirect window should look like the screen in Figure B.
Figure B
The HTTP Redirect options page
This step alone, however, isn’t enough. In fact, let’s try it. Browse to http://webmail.yourorg.com. You’ll get a message indicating that access is denied. The reason: SSL is currently required for the top level directory (Figure C).
Figure C
The SSL redirect isn’t working.
In order for the redirect to work, the top level directory needs to be accessible without using SSL. In other words, it needs to be accessible via HTTP. To make that happen, you need to disable the SSL requirement on that directory. Once you do, the top-level directory is fully accessible via HTTP and then IIS can properly intercept your HTTP request and redirect you to the page that you specified earlier.
Now, follow these steps:
1. Select the top level directory - probably called Default Web Site - and browse to SSL Settings (Figure D).
Figure D
Choose the SSL Settings option
2. Double-click SSL Settings.
3. Deselect the checkbox next to Require SSL (Figure E).
4. In the Actions pane, click the Apply link to save your changes.
Figure E
Disable SSL on the top level directory
For the remaining important subdirectories, make sure that the settings are as follows.
SSL | Redirect | |
| aspnet_client | Enable SSL | Uncheck redirect |
| Autodiscover | Enable SSL | Uncheck redirect |
| ecp | Enable SSL | Uncheck redirect |
| EWS | Enable SSL | Uncheck redirect |
| Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync | Enable SSL | Uncheck redirect |
| OAB | Enable SSL | Uncheck redirect |
| PowerShell | Enable SSL | Uncheck redirect |
| Rpc | Enable SSL | Uncheck redirect |
You need to make sure that you run through each of the directory settings since some of the changes you made earlier will have propagated down through the folder structure. Figure F gives you a look at one of the settings you’ll need to change.
Figure F
Set SSL and Redirect settings on each of the folders listed above
Once you’re finished, test your new settings. As you can see in Figure G, success!
Figure G
The HTTPS redirect is working now.
Now, users can just remember webmail.yourorg.com, and you can do the heavy lifting behind the scenes to both protect them (SSL) and make their lives easier (automatic redirection).
HWM BlackBox 電腦硬體效能評比、檢測工具（繁體中文版）
HWM BlackBox是個電腦硬體資訊的檢測工具，跟之前介紹過的EVEREST、Speccy與HWiNFO32…等軟體相當類似。它可以幫我們列出電腦中的CPU、記憶體、顯示卡、主機板…等等主要硬體配備的廠牌、型號與運作效能，包括時脈、倍頻、電壓與目前溫度…等等資訊，以及各種專業玩家才會用到的詳細硬體運作數據..等等。
除此之外，HWM BlackBox還內建了一個效能評比工具，測試出來的效能評比數據還可上傳到Top10hardware網站上跟其他人比大小，包含CPU、記憶體、顯示卡、影片編碼效能、3D遊戲效能與硬碟讀寫效能…等等的綜合評分，讓我們透過更具體、更精確的數據來測試不同電腦規格、不同平台間的硬體效能好壞。
▇ 軟體小檔案 ▇ (錯誤、版本更新回報)
軟體操作介面：
第1步 將HWM BlackBox程式下載回來之後，不用安裝直接執行「BlackBox21.exe」程式即可開始使用。「處理器」頁面會列出CPU相關資訊。
第2步 這是「記憶體」相關資訊的頁面。
第3步 這是顯示卡相關資訊的頁面。
第4步 這是主機板與光碟機、硬碟機及網路卡的相關資訊。
第5步 「效能」頁面提供了一個相當簡單、實用的硬體效能評比工具，按一下「效能評估分」按鈕即可開始測試。
