Question

Certificate problems

Asked by: nitrousgtstang

I currently host a small exchange server with about 10 users. I have a SSL Certificate installed from RapidSSL. The problem I am having is that when I go to http://exchgsvr.moermond.com/exchange I get a "There is a problem with this websites certificate". The problem is not so much for remote users as it is for synchronizing to my treo device. Everytime I try to synchronize I get a certificate error message on my treo. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing you did not install the intermediate certificate in the intermediate cert store on the server.

start here and run this utility:  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=cabea1d0-5a10-41bc-83d4-06c814265282&displaylang=en

looks like ssl is setup on the server without a problem.  https://exchgsvr.moermond.com/exchange/ works in both IE and firefox.

i assume you are using a windows treo and trying to activesync to your server?  I seem to remember something like this in the past.  on the default website > security tab > secure communications (edit button) - is that set to require ssl?  if so that should not be set.  

Also, when connecting to activesync you are not entering /exchange/.  the server name should just be exchgsvr.moermond.com.

Now i might be misunderstanding you as you said things completely contradictory to what i've just said, so please be more specific
