Outlook Anywhere, Certificate

I have setup and enabled everything I know to implement Outlook Anywhere hosted on an Exchange 2003 server, SBS2003. OWA works if I use http:// rather than https: Both give certificate errors, however the login screen appears using http: on the address line of IE, upon pressing enter the http auto converts to https:

Everything appears to be good except the Certificate. I have tested my connection using the following link,

https://testexchangeconnectivity.com

It always fails on certificate.

I have everything set except for the certificate. I am trying to generate a certificate on the server.

When generating the certificate do I use the FQDN of the server or the name of the MX record that points to my public IP for OWA? Do I distribute the certifcate to clients first?

thanks,

You will use the registered name you use on the Internet not your internal domain...

I ended up going to Godaddy.com and purchasing a certifcate. Smooth sailing thereafter. OWA, although it worked before no longer generates certificate error. Outlook Anywhere works as it should now.

thanks
