Configuring SSL for OWA
I am trying to configure SSL for OWA.
I am able to access my OWA within my network (intranet)
How ever when I am on another ISP I cannot access the secure website.
What could be the cause of this?
Please help,
Thank you

- Are you allowing port 443 to that box from the internet? Are you able to connect on port 80 from the internet?

What is the detail error information?
What is the certificate installed on IIS server,self-signed or 3rd party?
What is the URL for OWA? https://exchangeserver/owa? Https://domain.com/owa ?
Have you point the domain name to your Exchange Server from public DNS?
Do you have ISA?

XiuYes,
http://email.domain.com/exhange works fine internally and externally.
After I grab a server certificate in IIS, and enable "Require secure channel (SSL)" and "Require 128-bit encryption"
I go to https://email.domain.com/exchange it works fine with the internal users connected in the same ISP.
but when I switch ISPs outside of the network, OWA does not work.
So the problem is, external users are unable to connect securely to the exchange server on our internal network.
Thanks for the replies- Hi,
Where is the certificate issue from? Self-signed? From 3rd?
Regards,
Xiu Self signed, just the regular CA from windows server 2003.
- Then I suspect it could be the certificate related issue.
Please post the detail error information when you access OWA from Outside. While we are on the topic of certificate related issues...
I was wondering if I have a 3rd party wildcard cert with a common name of *.company.com.
Will it work on a clustered BE server in another domain, such as mail.contoso.com if this address routes to the BE server?- Hi Deelow,
That could be possible.
You can get more information from Wayne Phillips's post from the following thread.

Regards,
Xiu - It just gives the regular:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at email.domain.com.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
We have Sonicwall here, in which I have already enable all WAN traffic to specifically the internal LAN ip of the exchange server.
What else could be the problem?
Thanks.
