GoldenDog -> RE: E-mail hosting?? (Multiple domains...) (11.Mar.2007 11:52:52 PM)

Hi Everyone. I was looking at Istol's posting about http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4172728f-bb70-4579-9d5d-fccdd4afcd80.aspx and setting up for hosting. Microsoft's site is not very detailed and well documented, in fact, it majorly lacks this on the hosting setup.
They say this:
For each hosted e-mail domain, you should set up a site together with its corresponding DNS entries. For example, the domain named for example contoso.no should be called autodiscover.contoso.no, and the domain named example.contoso.se should be called autodiscover.contoso.se. In the site in Figure 2, there is no need for any virtual directories and you do not have to set up SSL certificates.
In IIS Manager, configure redirection for each of your sites to https://mail.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml.

These sites should be configured only for HTTP (port 80) traffic. In IIS Manager, configure redirection for each of your sites to https://mail.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml.

These sites should be configured only for HTTP (port 80) traffic. When you configure redirection on these sites, you must use anonymous access and disable authenticated access. Also, make sure that you do not configure other options such as The exact URL entered above, A directory below URL entered, and A permanent redirection for this resource. Configuring redirection in this manner ensures that the Outlook 2007 client receives an HTTP 302 response.
After you configure redirection, Outlook 2007 clients will try to connect to https://contoso.no/autodiscover/ and https://autodiscover.contoso.no/autodiscover/ by using an HTTP POST request. Because these sites are unavailable, Outlook will try an HTTP GET request to http://autodiscover.contoso.no/autodiscover.

No information, such as the user's e-mail address and password, is sent in this request. Because redirection is configured on this site, IIS will return a 302 redirection response for https://mail.contoso.com/. The client will receive the response and prompt the user to accept or reject the request. The user must accept this request. After this occurs, the client will then be redirected by using an HTTPS POST request. In this example, there will be no security alert. Finally, the client will receive the necessary Autodiscover service response.
HERE is the PART I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT:
[image]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa997633.note(en-us,TechNet.10).gif[/image]Note:
When you configure a redirector to redirect clients to a new site, as in the previous example, additional SSL certificates are not required. However, you must configure additional IIS sites.
Anyone tried this and confirm it works???
