SSL Installation Problems
Hello,
I am having some issues with the installation of an SSL certificate. I purchased one from GoDaddy, but am using one from RapidSSL as a test.
In one of my previous posts I asked if there would be any issues with keeping my internal domain as a .com when we also have a ISP hosted website with the same name. I believe that is where the problem is coming from.
This is the guide I have been using to set up the SSL cert. (http://www.petri.co.il/configure_ssl_on_your_website_with_iis.htm). Are there any particular steps I need to do differently? Maybe like Step 11, where it asks for the common name. What do I need to put in there? My domain name? Server name?
Main reason I'm installing this certificate is to enable the use of RPC over HTTP(S).
If I have left any info that you may need, please let me know.
Thank you.

The SSL cert is not going to be used for the website itself (which is hosted by an ISP that has MX records pointing back to office server, for Exchange purposes) but for RPC over HTTPS and OWA (which currently is located at http://mail.mydomain.com/exchange). If that makes any sense.

That's probably the reason it didn't work. I was using mydomain.com as the common name. I am leaving the office right now, but will try when I get home. I will let you know the results. Thanks for the quick responses.
Cool okay :)
Just yell if you still have problems, I'll be off to bed in a short while so don't worry if there's no immediate reply.
Have a good journey.

There's no problem with that. At least nothing that will impact SSL.
The Common Name is the name used to access the site. That is, if you have a web-site on www.yourdomain.com and wanted to use SSL then you would use a common name of www.yourdomain.com.
