Hi, I have finally built a front-end server for exchange, suing Exchange 2003 Standard, SP1. We have: 1 x exchange Standard SP1 (front-end) 1 x Exchange Enterprise, SP1 (back-end) We do not use ISA server, and the FE server is in the perimeter network. I followed the instructions in the technet site: Chapter 4: Configuring a Front-End Server http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/guides/E2k3FrontBa ck/48f92d35-75e1-4d8a-8914-fef1893f99d6.mspx - I did not create any extra virtual servers on the FE server, nor on the BE server. - I configured Basic authentication. - My firewall is allowing all ports through from the FE server to the BE server. - I have not disabled the DirectoryAccess Pinf, not the netlogon check. - I am not hosting multiple domain - I have enabled SSL and forms-based authentication. When I access the site: https://owa.challengelogistics.com.au/exchange From inside our network I receive the authentication form, without any server certificate errors sugggesting the installation of my certificate worked. However, when I enter my "domain\username" and password, I receive an error stating that: ------------- 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: 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) -------------- Which seems odd as I am accessing it using HTTPS. Any advice or pointers would be appreciated.
