2.9 Prerequisites for external EAS Proxy
Sophos Mobile Control offers a separate installer for configuring an external EAS Proxy (for example for load balancing). For the external EAS Proxy, several aspects have to be considered. Depending on usage scenario, the EAS Proxy cannot be addressed directly. With several customers (tenants) for example, a Reverse Proxy has to be used that directs the incoming traffic for each customer to a separate port (for example 8080, 8081 and so on). The EAS redirects the ActiveSync traffic to the configured Exchange Server.
Before you configure an external EAS Proxy, fill out the following checklist:
Which ports should the EAS Proxy use?
Is a Reverse Proxy or something similar already available?
Has redirection to the relevant ports been configured at the
Reverse Proxy?
External/internal IP/DNS name of the Reverse Proxy
Where is the EAS Proxy to be installed (same machine as the SMC server or separate maschine)?
IP address for the EAS Proxy (if installed on a separate machine)
IP or DNS names of the Exchange Servers
Is ActiveSync activated at the Exchange Server?
Open Firewall from Reverse Proxy to EAS Proxy?
Open Firewall from EAS Proxy to https port on SMC host?
Open Firewall from EAS Proxy to http or https port on
Exchange Servers?

3 Communication between devices and push servers
3.1.1 For iOS devices: Allow traffic from device to Apple push server
For communication between iOS devices and the Apple Push server within a corporate WLAN, Port
5223 has to be open.
3.1.2 For Android devices: Allow traffic from device to
Google Cloud Messaging Server
For communication between the Android device and the Google Cloud Messaging Server, connectivity with GCM has to be allowed. The following ports need to be open: 5228, 5229 and 5230. GCM typically only uses 5228, but sometimes 5229 and 5230 are used. GCM does not provide specific IPs, but changes them frequently.
