Jumping to conclusions to protect your reputation will not cut it Tom. As it
turns out I was able to add your steps to the Microsoft way which didn't change
a thing except for making things load up a little slower (I am typing this on a
clients machine..off site).
The only thing I don't agree with is your OWA client notes were the client has
to add the IP address of the External nic to their host file along with the
mail server name, the reason this is a problem is simply because what if the
client wants to access his or her mail via a Internet cafe in Ireland? (ref.
chapter 10, page 49)
The purpose of OWA SSL is for security and to allow people to get their mail
anywhere. If you told your clients, oh btw you have to make sure the machine
you are on has this setting they would probably freak out and dump your
services for someone else who doesn't require such nonsense.
This forum and the ISA one has been a great help to me. Even your documentation
has been a help though it's only a piece of the bigger puzzle! :)

Sheesh. Don't tell me you're using SSL to HTTP bridging? OUCH! Might as well
use Linux or PIX if you want that low level of security.

Hey Tee,
I just tried setting it up the Microsoft way which is a lot different than Tom
Shinders way.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;888714
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;888714>
And it worked without any problems. Also I used 1 less ISA rule to set it up
and didn't have to setup a split DNS like suggested in other Exchange 2k3 OWA
SSL on ISA 2k4.
I am soo happy! :) Now just have to work out the little details.
Andrew

Andrew,
I can tell you that the problem is the your firewall settings. Check
your firewall configuration and make sure that you have ports 443 and
80 enabled. You keep saying forums, are you referring to Forms-Based
Authentication (FBA)? If this is what you're talking about, make sure
to enable it after you SSL certificate is installed.
Also you're right about the Microsoft link below about how to redirect
http to https site. I followed it some few weeks ago but it did not
work. Go through the articles on MSExchange.org site, you will find
one of the articles that show you step by step how to configure it
properly. The article was written by a guy named Henrik Walther. He
also has a book entitled - CYA: Securing Exchange Server 2003 &
Outlook Web Access. Chapter 5 of this book is somewhere or is one of
the articles at msexchange.org. This is the chapter that helped me
resolved a similar problem you're facing now. I'll buy the book pretty
soon.
Tee
