It's better to purchase a valid certificate from Verisign, Entrust, or another CA. This way, your users won't get "this site is invalid" pop-up warnings every time they hit your OWA server. See the section in the Swynk Exchange List FAQ about OWA and SSL for more details (I wrote this FAQ section, so I find it amazingly clear, consice and easy to follow ;-). It's in section 3 of Appendix G. http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxg.htm, scroll down to section 3.

My end goal at this time is to be able to use SSL for OWA but I'm not sure where to start. So far I have started setting up a Certificate Server but I'm not sure what kind of a "Public and Private Key Pair" to setup during the install process. Right now we are planning on only using this for our own users so we haven't wanted to purchase an outside certificate, would it be better to purchase a certificate or just use a Microsoft one? Are there any step by step documents anywhere I can look through for setting this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. __________________________________ Ray Trees Jr. / Network Administrator Information Systems / Key Technology, Inc.
