Certificate error accessing OWA internally
Hi Experts
The certificate for my Outlook Web Access contains the server name mail.domain.co.uk.
For external users this works fine.
For internal users, they get a certificate error, which I expect, seeing as they use the server's hostname to connect instead of the external domain name.
Is there any way around this? Can I configure IE8/9 to ignore certificate errors for certain websites?
Using Exchange 2003.
Cheers

You could try creating an internal DNS record for mail.domain.co.uk (pointing to the internal IP address), so that your internal users can use the same name, but reach the same server.

I tried creating an internal DNS record but it appends the record with my domain name, so it still doesn't match the certificate.
I was hoping not to spend any money on this one, so don't want to go for a SAN cert.
It's not a huge issue, as OWA isn't accessed often internally.
Any other ideas?

It sounds like you tried to create an A record for 'mail.domain.co.uk' inside your DNS lookup zone. You just need to create a record for 'mail' and point it at your server's internal IP address.
