Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 is an integrated network edge security gateway that helps protect IT environments from Internet-based threats while providing fast and secure remote access to applications and data. ISA Server is compatible with most of the authentication methods that can be used with Outlook for Mac 2011.

Note

For web URLs, Outlook for Mac 2011 communicates directly with the ISA Server computer and not with the Client Access server.

For more information about ISA Server, see Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server on the Microsoft Web site (www.microsoft.com/isaserver).

If you provide secured external access to the Global Address List (GAL), you might prefer not to open ports for LDAP searches through ISA Server. Instead, you can host a copy of the GAL on an Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS) server that is exposed to the Internet for SSL access. AD LDS, formerly known as Active Directory Application Mode, can be used to provide directory services for directory-enabled applications, without incurring the overhead of domains and forests and the requirements of a single schema throughout a forest.

For more information about AD LDS, see Microsoft Active Directory on the Microsoft Web site (www.microsoft.com).
