Hello i am running exchange 2000 enterprise and OWA running on the iis on the same machine as iis now i followed up the instructions on how to enable SSL for IIS/OWA by installing certificate manager etc etc... now i have the strange problem (since the begining,) when a user attempts to access OWA it takes at least 15 seconds for the system to prompt the certificate to be accepted after which the user can continue working. once the certificate has been aknowledged, everything runs smoothly. what can be causing this slow service and how can i resolve it, ive got a pentium linux box that provides a certificate in a snap in comparison to my exchange system that haugs up as much resources as you would give it.... awaitting for hintfull replies regards O.
