Re: OWA problem after renewal of SSL cert

Have you installed the certificate into the server's certificate store, and
have you configured the Default Web Site to use this certificate?

Hi Ed:

Right now I'm internal. I've been playing with things to see if could get
HTTPS (vs HTTP) to work again - if only on the LAN. When I attempt to
connect via HTTP, I get:

The page must be viewed over a secure channel
The page you are trying to access is secured with Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

a.. Type https:// at the beginning of the address you are attempting to
reach and press ENTER.
HTTP Error 403.4 - Forbidden: SSL is required to view this resource.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technical Information (for support personnel)

a.. Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search
for the words HTTP and 403.
b.. Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and
search for topics titled About Security, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and
About Custom Error Messages.
When I attempt to connect via HTTPS, I get:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
a.. You are not connected to the Internet.
b.. The website is encountering problems.
c.. There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information



Thank you,

Lou

What happens when you try to connect to OWA? Are you using FBA on the
IIS
server or on the Exchange server?

**note...I posted (sep post) this in the ISA group as well...

All:

Our SSL cert (via Network Solutions) recently expired; prior to
expiration,
I renewed it and put the new one in place on my web server. We're using
forms-based authentication and a quick test (via LAN) of secure OWA
after
putting the new cert in place *seemed* to show that everything was
working
properly. A test from home (through ISA Server 2000) later that
evening,
however, showed, otherwise. At this point, I simply thought my failure
to
update the cert on the ISA server was the problem.

The next day I exported the cert w/private key and put in place on the
ISA
server - everything appeared to go smooth. However, I'm still w/out OWA
access from the outside world. At this point, I *can* access OWA (http
only) when I'm on the LAN or connected via VPN, but that's it. If I
tick
the box on the Exchange virtual directory to require encryption, I can't
access OWA via https on the LAN or outside the network.

Prior to the cert renewal, form-based OWA worked perfectly.

At this point, I'm at a complete loss as to which way to go to
troubleshoot
this. I've reread articles re: setting up forms-based authentication,
dbl-checked settings on each of the virtual directories, dbl-checked the
web-publishing rule that's set up for OWA access through ISA 2000 and
everything *appears* to be correct, but obviously something's amiss.

I need some help - need to get back to square one and pick this issue
apart
piece by piece. This means I'm open to checking every facet of my
setup.

Thoughts, suggestions, links to articles to read (though I've probably
read
them all at this point), etc. would be most appreciated. I really need
to
get this this working again. FYI, using ISA Server 2000 and Exchange
Server
2003, SP2 (fully patched)

Thanks to any/all who read/respond to this post.

LJH
