You can use the EMC and the Shell to configure SSL offloading for Outlook Anywhere.

The first time that you run the Enable Outlook Anywhere wizard, you can enable SSL offloading by selecting the check box next to Allow secure channel (SSL) offloading. However, if you want to enable SSL offloading and you've already run the Enable Outlook Anywhere wizard without selecting this option, you can use the Shell and the Set-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet to set up SSL offloading.
