Cisco Firewall :: ASA5510 / Accessing Exchange Server From DMZ?
Aug 16, 2011
We have a ASA5510 with a webserver in the DMZ network 10.2.2.0/24. We now want this web server to be able to access the Exchange server in the Inside network 10.1.1.0/24. I researched this and it seemed straight forward according the the Cisco document below:
[URL]
I'm looking to do this with smtp so I added these lines to the config:
We have a setup where clients on the internal network send/receive their emails through Microsoft Outlook client, while the Exchange server is hosted on the internet, outside the organization.The clients are connected to a Cisco switch, behind an ASA5510 Firewall. The Firewall is connected to an internet router, with double NAT (On the ASA and Router).
the outlook clients disconnect from the Exchange server, sometimes for hours, and then reconnect again. During these disconnections, the same client PCs are able to browse the internet normally. There are no restrictions for the traffic going from the inside to the outside. During the disconnections, if we try to connect using a public IP bypassing the ASA & router,.
Is there any way to access a MS Exchange Server 2007 on Windows server 2008 through an ASA 5510 running 8.4 with a full MS Outlook client (not using OWA - web browser)? OWA is currently working fine but I was wondering if access via the full Outlook client is possible and more importantly...is it opening up too many ports on my 5510?
I have an ASA 5505 with the base license,When I setup the DMZ interface I had to add the deny access to the inside VLAN. The DMZ works fine with WiFi on it, but user's iPhones can't get email unless they turn WiFi off.Is there a simple way to allow HTTPS traffic through the DMZ interface to our internal Exchange server which is NAT'd on the 5505's external IP?
Is this possible and if so what commands do i need to configure on my ASA 5510 for it to work.I have two web server within my DMZ and i want to access the outside url of on on the web server from the other. Currently i can access the internet from both webserver server but not the url form either webservers.
E.g. config
webserver 1 https://xxxxxx.xxxxxxx.com ---> public ip---> dmz ip webserver 2 https://xxxxxx.xxxxxxx.com ---> public ip---> dmz ip
I have Cisco ASA 8.0(5) and I need to block specific url to acees my https server in dmz ?I read about websence technology, but I think it's not free right? Also I read abotu policy inspection map's but in my case is HTTPS not http ..
I am using a fiber optic connection. I want to connect it directly to ASA5510. A WLC2504 will be connected to ASA and one Aironet AP will be deployed at first. (At this moment I am not using any Windows server but in near future I will need to deploy Windows Server 2003 in my corporate network) My questions are:
Can I configure ASA as DHCP server for my LAN?
Can I configure WLC as DHCP server for my LAN?
If we can configure both then what is the best practice from above two options? (I am new to Cisco stuff and first time user)
I am new to Exchange Server 2007 . I want to know that in order to implement Exchange Server do I need to register Domain name like [url]... ? OR A FQDN of Active Directory can work.Is it compulsory to register domain ?
I have a scenario where there is an ASA5510 configured as follows:
Interface0 = Outside Interface1 = LAN Interface2 = DMZ Interface3 = unused Running ASA version 8.2[1]
All network operations are fine, as are the IPSEC tunnels to other branch offices, and the incoming SSL VPN accessed via the IP address assigned to the external adapter.
My problem is that I have a device on the DMZ that needs to access the AnyConnect service hosted on the external adapter so that it can access LAN resources. When I try accessing it, I see the following errors appearing in the debug log:
3Dec 03 201212:10:50710003[DMZ client address]51031[AnyConnect ExternalAddress]443TCP access denied by ACL from [DMZ client address]/51031 to DMZ:[AnyConnect ExternalAddress]/443 If you look closely, it suggests an ACL issue from the DMZ client to the external AnyConnect IP address BUT it suggests the Anyconnect IP address is on the DMZ interface.
We use microsoft exchange for outlook. I want to know which ports are being used by our exchange server to receive and send emails. Is it possible to check that?
Currently, my company runs a DC and exchange server in the building. It is also hosting our website with IIS7. All AD users currently have @company1.com.au email addresses.We have just started an off shoot company and would like to setup emails in exchange so that we can automatically assign and manage emails on the same exchange server. so that each user hasWhat is the best way to do this?At the moment, company2.com - company is hosted outside with someone else. Is there a way that he can direct the mail to us so that he hosts the website but we host the email server?
since upgrading to 8.4(1) on our ASA 5520 I've had nothing but issues with our email server not being able to send out emails (timeouts,corruption, etc) and tried everything and then it dawned on me to turn off ESMTP inspection on the ASA's.Since I've down that our Exchange server SMTP works perfectly again.Why is it that ESMTP corrupts emails so badly from exchange server? (ours is a 2010 sp1)does anyone actually use ESMTP inspection at all?
The Exchange can receieve emails but it will not send them. It cannot make connection to any of the smart hosts on port 25 or can't even send mail using DNS. When I run telnet my.smarthost.com 25 it will not connect but if I run that from the router then it connects fine.
I am deploying a Cisco 1841 in place of our basic DSL router.I have an ADSL WIC and FA0/0 connected to our LAN.LAN IP ADDRESS range is 192.168.1. 0/ 24 I have dynamic and static NAT configured. At this point although I have ACL's configured I have NOT implemented them as yet for the following reason. I am unable to recieve inbound SMTP traffic - now know my MX records are correct as this all owrks happily on our basic DSL router. I can send external emails no problem and all internal email works fine. [code] I am in the process of defaulting the router and programming the barbones to get the link working and see if inbound SMTP works then start building the blocks again.
My customer has SSL certificate already installed on microsoft exchnage 2010 servers and now wanted to import that certificate to cisco ACE4710.
How to trace the exact procedure to import the SSL Cert to ACE from microsoft exchange server and how about the KEY, from where I should get the KEY to cross verify for SSL Cert?
I just recently installed a RV220W at my office and (almost) everything works fine. I have noticed that when my iPhone is connected to the RV220 wi-fi network, I get the message "The connection to the server failed" when checking my email. If I disable the wireless on my iPhone, it connects up to the exchange server perfectly fine so it must be a setting with the wireless somewhere but I cannot find it anywhere.....
I'm hosting my email on an Exchange Server 2003 box and have my laptop (Vista Ultimate 32 bit) setup to connect to the exchange server for my email. This works fine through a LinkSys RV042 in one location and a LinkSys WRT54GC in another, but fails through the DIR-615 B2 (2.24 firmware) at home. I'm guessing it's blocking something needed for the MAPI connection.
Is there any way to access a MS Exchange Server 2007 on Windows server 2008 through an ASA 5510 running 8.4 with a full MS Outlook client (not using OWA - web browser)? OWA is currently working fine but I was wondering if access via the full Outlook client is possible and more importantly...is it opening up too many ports on my 5510?
Since I have installed my new router, a Linksys EA6500, I have many problems to connect to my Exchange Server, which is located in my house, via Wifi. I tried to synchronize my Iphone and my Samsung tablet but it won't work. Most of the times I get the message that the Exchange server cannot be connected. When I turn off my Wifi en connect via my mobile provider I have no problems. When I am on a third party wifi I also can connect my server. Seems my own wifi causes lots of problems.
I am trying to issue command "ssh key-exchange group dhgroup14" on several of my ASA firewalls. The key-exchange command is failing on 3 of 4 ASA firewalls. According to Cisco documentation, this command was introducted in 8.4. My ASA's are running version 8.6.1.10, 9.1.1.8, 9.1.1.10 and 9.1.2. The command is available only with 9.1.2.
Example from one my ASA.
lbjinetfw# show version | in Version Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.6(1)10 Device Manager Version 7.1(2) Baseboard Management Controller (revision 0x1) Firmware Version: 2.4 lbjinetfw# config t lbjinetfw(config)# ssh
We have the following setup on our Cisco ASA version 8.6.1 One to one NAT rule from outside to our Exchange 2010 cluster IP address (DAG group). This is working fine for clients on the internet accessing their emails via Exchange using their phones. The ASA has the MAC address of the active node from the cluster but when the cluster failover it cache the IP address and are not updating the new MAC when the cluster failover. So users from the outside are unable to connect to the new node from outside the ASA as the MAC address from the passive node is in the MAC table. The MAC address on all the switches update within 2 seconds on the internal network and users don't notice any outage.
Ok so the mail flows to the Barracuda using a static 1:1 NAT configuration and then gets delivered from the Barracuda to the Exchange server. I want to implement active sync (Direct Push) for Windows mobile devices. They need to communicate with mail.domain.com over port 443. The problem is I want mail to continue to flow to the Barracuda, but direct Direct Push traffic to the Exchange server.I cnow I can't implement two 1:1 NAT mappings from the same external hostname to 2 different servers.
We have a ASA 5510 which was running 8.0.2, we recently upgraded it to 8.2.5 and since the upgrade remote users for exchange 2007 are not able to download any large email attachments(over or close to 1MB). This is only happening to Outlook anywhere users or OWA users who are connecting to the exchange server using https(443) externally. If the same users connects internally they do not face any issue. When i check the logs on ASA i am gettings lots of RESET-O and RESET-I entries. Looks like the connection between the client and the server gets reset.
We are upgrading from a Pix 515e to a ASA 5510 with CSC SSM. We cannot send outbound email or receive any email from the outside world. I have placed a call with Cisco Support with no luck. [code]
Our ASA 5510 has been in place for nearly two years, we never have any issue what so ever with it. All along the ASA has been using the default policy. Lately, we beeen getting email deferred in our Barracuda Spam firewall. Google quickly reveals that ESMTP does not play nice with Barracuda witch i disabled eventhough we haven't had any issue with it before. However, the issue remains, we still getting email deferred in the barracuda.
While doing more troubleshooting on the ASA, I constated when issue the command show local-host + IP of the Barracuda, there is an IP address in outside of the interface that can get up to 96 UDP port 53 connections with the Barracuda, this connection never get lower than 20! However, when checking the default setup for the Barracuda, i have the values below:
Incoming SMTP Timeout: 20 Message per SMTP Session : 8 Maximum SMTP Error SMTP Session: 2 Maximum Connection per Client 30m:40
My question is if that ASA show up to 96 DNS session with an outside host to my barracuda, won't that push the barracuda to play email deferred timeout ? Should I change the barracuda default setting? Or should i change the connections limits for the Barracuda in the ASA?
ASA 5510 have two model Bun-K9 and Sec-Bun-K9 from the datasheet find out difference Port related and Redundancy. My questions is : Have any major difference for Security service between two model ?
I know that I've run into this before but I can't remember the fix. I have a 5510. The 3 interfaces involved are INSIDE, OUTSIDE, and GUEST. Corporate users are allowed to put their iPhones on the Guest network, but the problem is that their Exchange ActiveSync stops working. It is tied to the external DNS name of the OWA server (we'll say webmail.abc.com). So the users are funneled out one public IP on the OUTSIDE interface and are trying to communicate with the outside of the OWA server, which is NATed to another public IP on the same outside interface. What do I need to do on the ASA to allow users on the guest network (behind the GUEST interface) to access the mail server using its public IP (behind the INSIDE interface)
