Re: Outlook 2007 Certificate Error

Same thing, pay the difference and I can get up to 5 hostnames on the same cert. Goes from $29 / year to $90 / year, however.

I bought the cheapest one I could find. I think it's RapidSSL or GoDaddy. I did not get the UC/SAN cert since I didn't know what that meant, although I do now. But is there a way, with the cert I have, to avoid that annoying dialog box? I've trained the users to blow by it, but.. well you know.

You would have to call RapidSSL or GoDaddy to ask them if they can change the name on the cert, but curious, what will you change it to? Internally, depending on your doman name, Outlook 2007 may possibly be looking for the internal name, but I think you said the name on the cert is "mail?" I assume that it's the external FQDN you mean, such as mail.yourExternalDomainName.com? If you look at the Outlook setup, you can see how it changes the name to the internal name, so that may not be that easy. Also, if external, Outlook will use the external name to connect, but once connected, the RPC/HTTP process then uses the internal FQDN (exchangeServerName.internalDomain.com).

So not sure what to say, other than have them click through it, or ask who you bought it from to see if you change it to a UC/SAN cert. I spoke with Digicert about one customer who is still on Exchange 2003. I have plans in the works to switch them over to Exchange 2007. Upon renewal, I called and talked to them about changing it over inbetween renewal, and they said no problem, just pay the difference. Maybe your CA's support will allow to do the same? Give them a call. Let us know what they tell you.
