已答复 OWA wildcard certificate

    We've set up an exchange 2010 server with a wildcard certificate (*.company.com) for OWA.  It works perfectly fine when entering the FQDN name in the browser, however when using short names (https://server/owa) we get a mismatched name error, is there anyway around this or would I need to get a cert that contains the short names as well as any fqdn name that Exchange is configured with??

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    You have certidicate for *.domain.com this means it need to put something like mail.domain.com or owa.domain.com to resolve OWA. You can not use host name in this case.

    very simple....You need to add "server" as the SAN name to get rid of this error in the ceritificate....

    I don't think you can add "server" as a SAN name to a wildcard certificate?

    you create a cert using internal PKI

    If you want to use the server's real name then you will need to depoy a Unified Communications (aka SAN) certificate. Wildcard certificates are not the same.

    Hello,

    Since you are using a wildcard certificate for *.contoso.com, you will only be able to use it correctly with all DNS names which finishes with contoso.com (Like mail.contoso.com, www.contoso.com ...)

    Here, you want users to access the server using https://server/owa. For that, you can try to perform a redirection from https://server/owa to wanted URL. Be careful with the used certificate for https://server/owa URL as it should containg the server name.

    Another option is to use a SAN certificate where you include all used names.

    And the final option is to say to users to use HTTP to connect to OWA with URLs they are used to use and then you configure an HTTP redirection to your OWA site. Like that, users will all be redirected to the correct OWA Site and there will be no certificate issues.
