How to publish friendly url with WAP?

So we have an exchange 2010 environment and have recently deployed 2 exchange 2013 servers.  We also have an ADFS3 farm- 2 ADFS servers, and 2 WAP (web proxy) servers.

We have published several exchange 2013 urls successfully via wap- for example, https://email.myschool.edu/owa works great.

However, the redirect from the "friendly" url of https://email.myschool.edu does not work via WAP.

Internally (not accessing via WAP) it works- https://email.myschool.edu redirects to an OWA login page-

https://email.myschool.edu/owa/auth/logon.aspx?replaceCurrent=1&url=https%3a%2f%2femail.myschool.edu%2fowa%2f

Externally (using WAP)- I get a 404. 

Solutions for this?

Hi,

Please do the following steps to have a try:

1. Start IIS Manager.

  • 2. Expand the local computer, expand Sites, and then click Default Web Site.

  • 3. At the bottom of the Default Web Site Home pane, click Features View if this option isn't already selected.

  • 4. In the IIS section, double-click HTTP Redirect.

  • 5. Select the Redirect requests to this destination check box.

  • 6. Type the absolute path of the /owa virtual directory. For example, type https://mail.contoso.com/owa.

  • 7. Under Redirect Behavior, select the Only redirect requests to content in this directory (not subdirectories) check box.

  • 8. In the Status code list, click Found (302).

  • 9. In the Actions pane, click Apply.

  • 10. For the new settings to take effect, open a Command Prompt window, and then type iisreset /noforce to restart IIS.

Thanks Winnie, but we have already done this redirect in the exchange 2013 server.  It works fine on site, but the redirect does not work when I access via WAP.
