Need SSL certificate 404 error

Hi guys,

 Like an earlier post I was updating my ssl certificate on my exchange 2007 box on an sbs 2008 box

 After I did this I found that I couldn't access outlook web access and received a 404 error

 my c:\inetpub\wwwroot\owa folder is missing

 I re-ran the Fix my Network Wizard and it fixed some port issues on my router (??) and also came back with 'Certificate Authority is not Installed'....but I'm sure it is installed although its now done this twice. And I still have the /OWA issue.

Anyone any ideas on this?

 Thanks

IIS management > - check the bindings on the 'front end' and and 'back end' sites and one will be missing the correct certificate (and one might be on port 444 which may look odd, but that's normal)

Hi Pete
I’m away from my site at the moment so this is from memory.....but I checked the Edit Bindings values and there is one for http & Port 80 and one for http & Port 443.
Not quite sure exactly what you mean by front-end & back-end sites & couldn’t recall that you see the certificates there? Is that another page you were referring to?
Thanks
Exchange OWA is a front end service, if you installed a single exchange instance and shared it then there are two sites, because you combined the "Front End" role and the "Back End" Role, the sites use SOAP to allow a user to connect through the front end to get data from the back end

in IIS you should have both sites if this is a single-box solution.

If not then you need to make sure you install the certificate on your back-end server's IIS setup too.
Hi Ben
I think I follow you, but won't be able to do this or test this until I get back later in the week.

Just one point, obviously this was a new SSL certificate (from RapidStart), but can I use the same certificate for the back-end or do I just use a standard internal self-certified Microsoft certificate?

thanks in advance
You can use the same cert on both
