Re: OWA Certificate Error - Cannot get laptop to install SBS Self-Signed Certificate

Hi All,

I am trialling OWA with a view to pushing out to all our users.
However, I am getting an error when trying to install a self-signed
certificate from our SBS 2003 Prem server on my laptop running Win XP
Pro SP2 and IE7 both fully patched.

From the laptop, I am going to:

HTTPS://DOMAIN/EXCHANGE

I get an error page that says:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.


The security certificate presented by this website was issued for
a different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool
you or intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue
to this website.
Click here to close this webpage.
Continue to this website (not recommended).

a.. If you arrived at this page by clicking a link, check the
website address in the address bar to be sure that it is the address
you were expecting.
a.. When going to a website with an address such as
https://example.com, try adding the 'www' to the address,
https://www.example.com.
a.. If you choose to ignore this error and continue, do not
enter private information into the website.

Explorer Help.

I click to continue, and it brings up the login page, but with a red
'certificate error' at the top of the screen in IE.

I have installed the certificate into the laptop's store (accepted all
defaults), but when I go back to that page, it still comes up with the
certificate error.

Ooops - you must (manually) install the cert into the Trusted Cert
Authority (*not* do an "automagical" install).

You won't continually be prompted for the cert then.
