QuestionIs it possible to off-load security to separate appliance (DataPower) and implement last-mile security to EWS?

    The scenario is as follows: company policy says all web services get secured via DataPower appliance (XML accelerator that can manage certificates, Basic auth, logging, auditing, XSLT, etc). Would like to use EWS with certain system mailboxes (not regular users) to process emails programmatically. My client program therefore would need to send SOAP message to DataPower, which then sends to EWS. Exchange server must reject direct EWS requests not coming from DataPower. Can this be done? Specific instructions would be most appreciated.
