Exchange 2013 - Self Certifified SSL (PCI Compliance)

Hello all , we are being PCI Scanned an are failing on a few items, one being a self signed cert in Exchange

the X.509 certificate chain for this service is not signed by a recognized certificate authority. If the remote host is a public host in production, this nullifies the use of SSL as anyone could establish a man-in-the-middle attack against the remote host. Note that this plugin does not check for certificate chains that end in a certificate that is not self-signed, but is signed by an unrecognized certificate authority.

Exchange has a 3rd party SSL certificate installed already which is assigned to
IMAP, POP, IIS, SMTP

the self signed cert is assigned to
IIS, SMTP

Im unable to de-select these options.

Do i need to delete the self signed certificate? if so how would i go about it

thanks

Hello Pete

I dont know if this is of a concern but the CN (common name?) on the certs are all "servername" where the 3rd part cert is a mail.domain.com

would this effect anything. Im just crossing the t's etc...

command i have written is

enable-exchangecertificate -services none -thumbprint 0123456789099ggld4899

Open in new window


just wary to press return
