Hi

My pop3 ssl connection to exchange 5.5 mailboxes isnt working. The
exchange server is NT4.

I created an OpenSSL certificate and followed the MS guide to
installing SSL certificates:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;175439

In Exchange administrator the pop3 protocoal is enabled for the site
and the server, with 'Basic (Clear Text) using SSL' and 'Windows NT
Challenge/Repsonse using SSL' ticked.

The IIS key manager shows a key under POP3, the properties of this key
shows it is not out of date, and is 'complete and usable'

Do I have to do anything in Exchange Administrator other than tick the
SSL boxes in the POP3 protocol objects?

When try to connect with outlook get
'Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long
period of inactivity. Account: '***.***.***.***', Server:
'172.30.10.24', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0F'

which according the the MS support site:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;ko;251097

says the SSL certificate is invalid or not installed correctly

When I telnet to this machine on the 995 port I get no response, if I
telnet to a known working exchange5.5 POP3 SSL server I get an SSL
response?

It must be to do with the Exchange5.5 set up, but I dont know what
else I can enable other than teh pop3 protocols in the exchange admin
.

Anyone else had experience of setting up SSL?

Kind Regards
