Re: Problems setting up SSL on Exchange 2003 Front End server

Hi Bharat,

Thanks for the quick reply. That's managed to fix my problem. It flagged up
an error about the certificate. I just right clicked the error and selected
"Create New Cert" and it sorted itself out. Not sure exactly what was wrong
but it's all ok now.

Thanks again!!

Curtis.

Hi,

I've had a 2-node 2003 cluster running for a while now. I'm just in the
process of setting up a FE server for this. I've installed it and got it
running, and all looks ok, but now I've come to setting up SSL I'm
running into problems.

I have installed a an Enterprise Root CA on a server in the forest root.
The Exchange servers are all running in the sub-domain of this. I've
followed the instructions found on this website: http://tinyurl.com/4xa74

All seems to go well up until step 14 of the section called "Creating the
Certificate Request". I get the "Certificate Request Submission" as it
says I should, and on clicking Next I get a screen informing me I've
successfully completed the wizard and the certificate is now installed on
this server. However, if I then Edit the Secure Communications I found it
hadn't automatically ticked the SSL and Require 128-bit encryption boxes.
If I tick those manually and try and access the OWA site by going to the
http:// address I do get a message saying it's secured by SSL. But if I
try and go to the https:// address I simply get a page cannot be
displayed error. Incidently, if I remove the Require SSL option I can
access OWA over http.

I've also noticed under the Directory Security tab where I set this up,
the "View Certificate" box is greyed out. Does this mean the certificate
itself hasn't been installed correctly?

Thanks in advance,

Curtis.
