Office 365 installation / communication issues, with Cisco IOS router and Trustwave Webmarshal.

Solved a problem with a Cisco IOS router in combination with office365. In the situation they used a proxy server from Trustwave Webmarshal. On the cisco router was configured that port 80 and 443 for users were denied so the users had to use the proxy server to go online.

Webmarshal configuration:

Needed information for the configuration of the proxy by-pass can be found on the following URL

Al the URL names have to be excluded of the proxy.

Cisco IOS Router:

On the Cisco IOS router you have to create an object-group network

You will need to change the ACL on the internal interface as well for the users.
ip access-list extended ACL_VLAN_IN
1 permit tcp <local ip range> 0.0.0.255 object-group O365-IP-RANGE eq www
2 permit tcp <local ip range> 0.0.0.255 object-group O365-IP-RANGE eq 443
This will help to access the Microsoft servers for the office 2010 or higher for authentication and registration. You need to test several times to figure out what’s the best solution is for you.

    For those unfamiliar with WebMarshal (or at least the older version 6.x), the Bypass Proxy List can be found in the Tools > Global Settings menu. Had this issue earlier with a customer.
