OWA Certificate and IE7

[Alpha977]

Hello to all!

i need to know how to solve the problem of the certificate when i open my Outlook Web Access, because it ask me to acknowledge the unknow certificate.

I must buy a Verisign certificate? Or there are another solution?

Thanks to all!

I think you can just install certificate (one-time operation)

Hi,
If you want to be able to connect with OWA to your Exchange server from any PC on the internet a 3.rd party certificate is usually best.

If you combine with ISA server - I think one official certificate for the ISA server is all that you need:

If you install your own root CA (Certificate authority) it is possible to configure domain members to autoenroll certificates.
I think this should avoid most popups.

But getting certificates out in this fashion of course assumes that the clients with OWA are Windows XP (or later) domain members that have the certificates rolled out to them before a VPN connection from the internet becomes necessary.

Finally the above info is with the reservation that I'm not a certificate expert by any measure...
