Re: SBS 2003 and self signed SSL certificate


Yes, we do, our ISP does a store and forward for our mail to my server and
it's up.

The error in the browser is:
https://192.168.1.10/Remote/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fRemote%2fDefault.aspx
and that is highlighted in pink and the next text box on the end of the
address line of the browser says: Certificate Error and if you click on the
box you get a small dialog box that says: The security certificate presented
by this website has errors. This problem may indicate an attempt to fool you
or intercept any data you send to the server. We recomend that you close this
webpage.

Do you have a registered domain name?
Can you post the exact error message you get about the "problem with the
sites certificate"?

Hi Merv,

Thanks for the prompt reply .... Yes, it's for staff to get in to Remote
Web
Workplace and yes I have ran the CEICW and we only have the one nic hooked
up.

It's on my local subnet with the server on 192.....10. I'll go read the
walk thru and see if I can figgure out why I can't get the browser to
work.

I open the browser and point it to the 192. number and I get the Welcome
screen, then when I click on the RWW I get a security warning about going
from a current site on http:// to a trusted site on https:// and I say
Yes.

Then when I hit the http://192...../Remote, it says there is a problem
with
the sites certificate and I hit continue to the web site .....

Then I get the same prompt again about going from http to https: so when I
get to the RWW login screen in https: the address bar is pink but I can
still
login to RWW and run OWA.

I didn't set up this server initally but I'm slowly learning it and trying
to fix the errors it has, like for example the name of the company is
misspelled in the title bar of the main menu of RWW but I can see the
connect
to the server and client desktops and the OWA does work.

Assuming you mean a self-signed certificate to access Remote Web

or Outlook Web Access, you can create it using CEICW:
