Configuring and Testing Access to the Exchange Server

Access between the SonicWALL CDP appliance and the Exchange server where the user

mailboxes reside can be configured to require authentication credentials or not. When you add

an application object for a user mailbox backup, you can choose to add authentication

credentials if required by the Exchange server. In either case, you can use the Authentication

dialog box to test the connection between the SonicWALL CDP appliance and the Exchange

server.

Note If no authentication credentials are entered, the actual backup process uses the local

SYSTEM account to access the Microsoft Exchange database.
