How do I
configure OMA to use SSL?
Outlook Mobile Access
(or OMA for short) is a new feature
found in Exchange Server 2003 that
allows you to connect to your mailbox by
means of almost any mobile phone or
mobile device–based browsers that
support HTML, XHTML, or Compact
Hypertext Markup Language (cHTML). These
include a wide variety of mobile devices
such as mobile phones, Palm OS based
devices and Pocket PC based devices.
You can read more
about OMA in the featured links at the
bottom of this article.
OMA transmits traffic
to and from the web browser on the
mobile device in HTTP (based upon TCP,
port 80) and in clear text, meaning that
anyone could potentially "listen" to
your talk and grab frames and valuable
information from the net.
To
secure the transmission of information
between Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook
Mobile Access (OMA) clients, you can
encrypt the information being
transmitted by using SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer). |
