CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hi there.
If the topic was already discussed here i'm sorry and kindly asking to forward me to that topic.

My trouble is the following.
I need to run Outlook 2007 via HTTPS. I have configured account and on the stage of downloading folders/tasks etc, Outlook tell me something like - could not resolve name or outlook doesn't connected.

I suspect that it is a deal in incorrectly imported ssl certificates (generated for HTTPS). Because of together with correct requests to 443 port i see requests to 135 (GC) port (tcpdump stats).

If you have any thoughts what to do - please help.

Thanks

You can try adding IE6 to the same bottle as Outlook 2007 and see if the libraries it provides helps with HTTPS. Another thought is you could create/edit a hosts file and manually enter the server's address you're trying to reach. Dig into the bottle containing Outlook (the bottles are kept at ~/.cxoffice/) to drive_c/Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and in this file after the last line enter the information you’ve collected. For example:

69.132.456.66 mail.website.com

Thanks for answer but

• the deal is not in name resolving but in the fact that outlook is trying to connect to GC to validate my connection
• i have installed IE6 into the bottle but, that's funny, i don't see menu therefore i can't reach IE6 options 😊

Any other thoughts?

What's "GC" stand for? IE6 in this setup isn't really suppose to be run, it just provides DLLs to Outlook, which is why an icon wasn't created. You can try to start IE manually by using the Crossover Run Command program and choosing the iexplorer.exe file.

GC - stand for Global Catalogue in terms of MS Exchange environment, also know as Active Directory.

The problem with IE6 is other - I can run IE6, i can type some url and even browse that page, but I do not see MENU "File Edit Tools ....".
That's the problem.

Thanks.

Cyril,

I am using Outlook 2007 with and Exchange 2007 server, which is generally causing the issues with HTTP, RPC and HTTPS connections. After much research I found this to work:

1. Where you enter your username (Same place you have the option to "Check Name" not login) enter this:
   =SMTP:your.email@address.com

2. For the login credentials use:
   domain\username

Since initially finding this solution (on some forum, somewhere) I have used this to setup Outlook several times with fresh installations. Hopefully this will work for you as well.
