Setup Entourage for Exchange via HTTP communication
- by Johandk
Our ISP set up a hosted exchange server for all our mail. I've setup all our Outlook users with no problems.
We have two people using Mac OSX Leopard and Entourage.
Entourage has the option of adding an Exchange account, but I have no idea how to tell it to connect to exchange via HTTP.
Heres an excerpt from the client setup docs the hosting company sent me for Outlook:
1 .Go to control panel 2. Select ‘Mail’ 3. Select ‘Email accounts’
Under the E-mail tab select ‘New’
Select ‘Manually configure server settings......’ - click next
Select ‘Microsoft Exchange’ – click next
Complete details as below with Microsoft Exchange Server as: [server address]
Do not select ‘Check Name’. Instead select ‘More Settings’.
Go to the Connection tab, and select the bottom option ‘Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP’. And then select the ‘Exchange Proxy Settings’ button.
Enter Proxy server for Exchange
Check Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their certificate, Enter msstd:[servername]
Proxy Authentication - select Basic Authentication
Select OK, and again, so that you return to the main screen. Now select ‘Check Name’.
Enter Username and Password:
The username should now be the full name and underlined. If so select next, and then finish.
Next time you open Outlook, enter username and password
Any help GREATLY appreciated.
