The certificate is uninteresting. ISA includes the "SSL" distinction to tell you that it was trying to make a connection to a host using SSL. Look in the ISA logs for a result-code that includes "10060".

ISA Server failed to establish an SSL connection with exch.mydomain.org. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. The failure is due to error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. Every thing appears to working not sure what I see this error? I'm using a go daddy cert. Thanks, James May
