Hi,
Our setup:
1 x Windows 2003 server DC, hosting Certificate Services.
1 x Exchange 2003 server DC
I have configured a self-signed cert for OWA access. I can access OWA via
HTTPS, however, when I access the page using the server name
(https://<server>/exchange), I receive a Security Alert where the first and
last items are Warnings. That is:
Warning- The security certificate was issued by a company you have chosen
not to trust...
Ticked- The security certificate date is valid
Warning- The name on the security certifcate is invalid or does not match...
I reference the article on msexchange.org: SSL Enabling OWA 2003 using your
own Certificate Authority
(http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/SSL_Enabling_OWA_2003.html)
The second warning is entirely valid, however, I do not understand why the
RootCA is not accepted as a valid issuing authority (Warning 1) as it is
part of AD.
I have replicated AD using Sites and Services.
The Common Name for the CA is "RootCA.<domain-name>"
The Common name for the exchange site is "mail.<domain-name>"
Further, and this is not related to the SSL problem, but I am never asked
for my Username/password to access the page. An example is shown in the
msexchange.org document.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Adrian
