Secuirty Certificates - Exchange using SSL for OWA

Hi Guys,

Getting the certificate error when browsing to my OWA page :

https://owa.mycompany.com/exchange

Have my own CA have created and installed owa.mycompany.com certificate on my Exchange box.

All good so far, was expecting to get this error first time round due to it not being a trusted root authority in IE8. Installed the certificate as a trusted root by the usual method - View certificate - Install Certifcate, browse to the trusted cert folder - install etc.....

Closed browser - restarted.... still getting error.

Have checked my PC date and time, checked certifcate is valid ie expiry, owa name etc... all looks ok.

I feel I am missing something obvious, but can't see it.

Anyone come across this before?

PS One thing I have noticed is that the certifcate is not registered in TRusted CA tab in IE, its in the other peoples tab, even though I selected the trusted CA folder when I installed it. Have tried on another machine, with the same results.

Thanks

Exchange 2007 and 2010 needs a trusted certificate. You need to request a certificate from a trusted certificate authority (verisign, comodo etc). It must be a multi domain certificate. (because of autodiscover).

to add certificate CA to correct place you should select Local machine. By default certificate added to user account.
