Ipad autodiscovery

Server NGINX
1

Hi All
I have my owa reverse proxy working. For some strange reason, all ipads
cannot now sync. Android is fine. I am seeing an error that they are
trying
to connect using autodiscovery and I am not seeing a way to disable this
in
IOS. Is there a way then to proxy the autodiscovery attempt in nginx?

Regards

Thanks for the pointer. I took a look at the solution. From what I
gather
though, that user used his solution for all clients. My problem that I
am
trying to figure out is that the Android Phones work just fine. I guess
I
was just trying to see if anyone could help me figure why only the later
model iphones and ipads refused to work. Even the iphone 4 works just
great.

I might have read it wrong but it seems that you could create fake files
the
device is looking for or just return a 200 for such requests.

Setup an accesspoint with raw logging and let an iphone go trough that,
see
what it’s doing.

Well I have been testing this further. What I have found is that the
issue
is really not autodiscovery. When the device initially tries to connect
it
uses autodiscovery but when that fails, you are presented with several
boxes to type in the server name, domain name etc. At this point, when I
put in all this information in the iphone, and click next, I get the
error
: Unable to verify Account. What bugs me is the Android works fine. I
have
added now about 15 android phones and they all work just fine with nginx
as
a reverse proxy to exchange. I can’t imagine what the iphone is doing
differently. I have been scouring through logs to try and figure it out
but
nothing yet.
