Hi all,

Hope everyone had a good Christmas etc.

In a few days (the IT Idiot's Christmas holiday :(), I will be 
rebuilding our ISA 2006 server and setting up with 2 network adapters.

The first network adapter will be in our internal network, and the 
second will be on the DMZ with a public IP address.

The purpose of this is to allow me to continue to provide web proxy 
facilities to our users, but also to publish some servers as follows:

- OWA (HTTPS)
[Jim] - understood why.  As to the question of whether to use the same cert 
internally and externally; this depends on the cert licensing.
- LDAPS (from our Active Directory)
[Jim] - for what, exactly?
- POP3S (from Exchange)
[Jim] - there is no ISA certificate involved here

As I need to use certificates for all of these, will I need to get 
certificates for the internal servers that I am publishing, or can I use 
self signed certificates?  If the later, will I need to trust the 
certificates on the ISA server anywhere?
[Jim] I realize self-signed certs are cheap, but they're a bigger pain then 
they are a benefit, since you have to re-trust them each time they're issued.  
Not so with "real" certificates.

Also, I was planning to get one certificate for use with the ISA server, 
and apply that cert to multiple ports (eg HTTPS/POP3S), they will be 
known by the same name externally.
[Jim] - as noted above, there is no need to worry about an ISA certificate for 
POP3S publishing.

Thanks.
Andrew.
