Goal: Assign SSL certificate for company OWA Exchange 2010 server
Environment:
- Log on to Exchange 2010 via web browser brings up warning as shown below…..
Log on to Exchange 2010 Management Console
Server Configuration
- Right Click on the CAS server
- New Exchange Certificate
- Enter Friendly name for the certificate ( anything you want this is for you to see and remember what this cert is for)
- In this example we have one domain so wildcard certificate wont apply to here
- Click next
Now Click the arrows to fill out the required information, this part is real nice easy to fallow we will click on Client Access server
Let me explain this a little bit so there is no confusion
The internal Domain Name space I use is SMTP25.local and server name is HTS01.SMTP25.Local
So my users internally can open their browser and type Http://mail.smtp25.local they will get to my exchange server and here how DNS A record internally look like
- On the local Domain Controller / DNS
- Open DNS Console
- New Host A record
- And type the IP address of the CAS server.
- Pretty simple internal DNS query will be perform by client Browser will go to Internal DNS server and since we do have A record pointing to CAS server, Client browser will be directed to CAS server.
- go back to Certificate wizard
- I will Click next
- Here is important, I have to pay attention to Common name, The common name is what clients will put into their browser when they are on outside of your network ( Internet) and this record must exist on the Public DNS server.
- I created folder on C and give name to Certificate to make me remember what it is in the future
- Now let’s get the certificate from C drive make right click open, open with notepad
- This is end of part one , please read part two to complete the cert process
best,

It's nice..I got the SSL certificate here http://www.xnynz.com/ It provides hosting,domain name register, domain appraisal, online file folder etc...
Currently I cannot find much on assigning via the new Exchange 2010 post, so congratulations to you. I am currently looking to configure my new server to a chain of SSL Certificates I've recently purchased from SSL247.co.uk, so any further articles based on the 2010 server would be greatly received!
I just got completed the part one and now going to read out the part two, over to EV SSL Certificate, i would be more interested to get information on Code Signing Certificate as well, which both i found to be very useful rather than other types like Essential etc.
I am currently searching to configure my new server to a alternation of SSL Certificates. I've afresh purchased from ClickSSL.com. It provides Wildcard SSL Certificates, Geotrust SSL, Verisign SSL, EV SSL Certificates, CodeSigning SSL & More.

Hello
Both part 1 and part 2 are excellent postings. They have screenshots for each step of the way and added explanations where particular care / focus is needed.
Well done and thank you.

There is a cheaper option than wildcard ssl. For exchange servers, the cheapest solution is to obtain a multi-domain certificate, and issue this for e.g. mail.yourserver.com, autodiscover.yourserver.com and owa.yourserver.com ... Those 3 domains are enough, and this cert is cheaper than a wildcard with most providers ...
