I am trying to open port 443 on the firewall to gain access to Outlook Web
access on our exchange server.
I have already modified the /etc/rc.config.d/firewallX.rc.config and put in
the following
FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="443"
FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="443"
FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP="443"
FW_SERVICES_INT_UDP="443"
I restarted the firewall but I am still not able to see my server behind the
firewall. How do I get my firewall to answer requests for port 443?

These are for services running on the firewall box itself. If you want to let through packets destined for machines behind the firewall you should look at FW_FORWARD or FW_FORWARD_MASQ depending on whether the exchange server has a real or private (NATted) IP address. I would also recommend putting any servers you allow access to from the Internet on a separate net, apart from your internal net, a so called DMZ. That way, if the machine is cracked (and let's face it, it's an exchange server :) your internal network isn't automatically compromised. regards Anders
