Problems with Exchange 2010 and NginX reverse proxy

JaredBusch

Have you run the remote connectivity analyzer?

Umm, why?

I am not having any connectivity issues. The problem with a proxy and Exchange is how Exchange handles ActiveSync and OutlookAnywhere. These are well known issues that are well documented when you try to implement a proxy.

Whoops, I misread part of your OP. Never mind.

JaredBusch

I have a new solution to try maybe tomorrow.

no one has tried to get nginx-extras into a mainstream or alternate repo, so I may roll a Debian proxy just because. I hate to mix OS like this, though. Keeps things simpler when everything is the same OS, no technical reasoning.

JaredBusch

So before I go and spin up an Ubuntu 17.04 VM, does anyone know of any methods to get the stuff that nginx-extras adds on Debian to a Fedora based install?

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/nginx-extras

Other then compiling it from source? I don't think so.

Looks like Copr has it.

Except it says build failed?

That's just for Fedora 22. If you look at the log it show it has build successfully for 25 and 26.

Ah, just clicked his link..

@JaredBusch Actually it only show successful for Fedora 24 and 26 not 25. That's odd.

Yeah, 25 appears to be SKIPPED.

JaredBusch

I'll toss a test 26 system up, no problem.

~~How do I enable a copr package though? My google is failing.~~

N/m found it on the right of the screen.

dnf copr enable a15/NGINX-extras

That was on my Fedora 25 (Korora) desktop. SO I know I cannot install it anyway.
