Using Offloaded Applications; Configuring Application Offloading With Sharepoint 2013; Microsoft Outlook Anywhere With Autodiscover Overview - Dell SMA 200 Administration Manual

Using Offloaded Applications

An offloaded application has its own portal page on the SMA/SRA appliance. The portal can be accessed directly
by entering the URL in a Web browser. You can also create an External Web site Bookmark on the SMA Virtual
Office portal that takes you to the offloaded application portal.
To use an offloaded application:
1 For direct access, point your Web browser to the URL of the offloaded application portal.
2 For access via an External Web site Bookmark, log into the Dell SonicWALL Virtual Office and then click
on the bookmark.
A new window is launched in your default browser that connects to the offloaded application portal
specified in the bookmark.
3 On the portal page, enter your login credentials to access the application if authentication is required.
Configuring Application Offloading with
SharePoint 2013
When the SharePoint 2013 server is accessed through an offloaded portal, basic functionalities, such as adding,
editing, or deleting documents, tasks, or calender events are supported. The client integration is supported if
the offloaded portal's authentication controls are enabled or disabled. However, when the Authentication
Controls are enabled, the client is only supported on Internet Explorer under the following caveats:
• The offloaded portal created for SharePoint must use a valid certificate.
• The Scheme used by the offloaded portal and the back end SharePoint must be the same. If the back end
SharePoint is running on HTTP, the offloaded portal must enable HTTP access and be accessed with HTTP.
• The same Scheme between the offloaded portal and the back end SharePoint means that URL Rewriting
for the offloaded portal does not need to be enabled.
• The Share session with other local application option must be enabled. This check box is located on the
Portals > Portals > Offloading tab.
• The Restrict Request Headers option must be disabled. This check box is located on the Services >
Settings page.
• If using Windows Vista or Windows 7 with the client, the offloaded portal should be added as a "Trusted
Site" on the Internet Explorer browser. To configure your trusted sites, navigate to Tools > Internet
Options. On the Security tab, click the Trusted Sites icon.
• The Share session with other local applications option must be enabled at login.
Microsoft Outlook Anywhere with Autodiscover
Overview
The Outlook Anywhere with Autodiscover Application Offloading is a feature that provides the ability for clients
using Outlook 2013, Outlook 2010, or Outlook 2007 to access the Outlook Exchange Server from the Internet.
Autodiscover support provides a simple configuration of the user's account by only requiring the user's email
address and password. Autodiscover also helps to update settings on the client side when Outlook Exchange
server settings have changed.
Outlook Anywhere with Autodiscover is supported by the Application Offloading portal; both Access Policy and
Authentication can be enforced.
NOTE: If Authentication Control of the SMA/SRA appliance is enabled, only the Basic Authentication for
Outlook Anywhere can be supported.
