Trouble accessing OWA - HTTP:// returns must use HTTPS:// - HTTPS returns page not found
Hello,
I have removed and reinstalled a new security cert on my server. Now when accessing Outllook Web Access I seem to have some issues:
Obviously I want it to use SSL.
When I connect to the site using standard http I get an error that says I must use HTTPS... But when I connect using HTTPS it says the page cannot be found. IT all worked before I screwed with the cert.
==========================
HTTP EXAMPLE
The page must be viewed over a secure channel
The page you are trying to access is secured with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

Did you run iisreset?
After removing that option you shouldn't get the SSL prompt any further.
Make sure that you removed the setting from
/exchange
/exchweb
/exadmin
/public
at least.

I have verified that the option is off of those. And I did do the IISRESET several times. I'll try it again.
should I have Ignore Client Certs checked or Accept?

Ok, I have confirmed that everything is off. Now when I use HTTP everything works just fine.
But when I use HTTPS, I still get this:

Cannot find server or DNS Error

That would appear that SSL hasn't been setup correctly.
Export your certificate, then remove it. Run IISRESET again. When you look in IIS manager you should find the SSL port column is empty.
Then reinstall the SSL certificate by importing it. Don't request a new certificate, as you already have one.
