It can make using activesync with windows mobile to sync with exchange difficult or impossible, depending on the device/carrier.

Pardon my jump in here on this old thread but I’ve been on vacation for a while and just now catching up.

Care to elaborate on the comment about wildcard cert problems?
We just purchased one and I’d like to start using it but if it is going to cause problems, I’d appreciate any heads-up you can share.

Thanks.

Glen.

There isn't a lot to it.

Use the wizard on this page to generate the request: https://www.digicert.com/easy-csr/exchange2007.htm

You need to include the real name of the server (server), the FQDN of the server (server.domain.local), the OWA address (owa.domain.com) and the autodiscover (autodiscover.domain.com). Most of the SSL providers allow five domains. I usually recommend that the owa address is the main common name.

Once you have generated the request command, paste in to PowerShell on the server. You don't have to use Digicert.

You can then take the result and use it with your preferred vendor. http://certificatesforexchange.com/ (disclaimer - that is my site) does the certificates for US$59.99/year which are from GoDaddy but are cheaper than GoDaddy are currently selling the certificates for. Don't be tempted to use a wildcard certificate as there can be some issues with their use.

After you get the certificate back from the supplier, you need to import the result: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124424.aspx

Finally you can enable the certificate for the services that you require. For that I tend to use PowerGui (http://www.powergui.org) which makes the process quick and easy.

For certificate acceptance you will have to adjust the URLs on some services, and ensure that the clients are using the correct URL for access. This is particularly important with POP3 and IMAP which can often not cope with SSL prompts - for example you are using the IP address for the server.

Simon.

Hello!

I need to get a certificate so that the warnings can go away for IMAP, SMTP and OWA. I have done a bit of reading on this and it seems less than straightforward. Has anyone done this and had an easy or hard time with it? Who did you buy your cert from and do you have any resources that clearly specify how to create the request and then import the cert.

I want to have my ducks in a row before I do this because I know just as it can make everything work smoothly it can expediously bring everything to a screeching halt if not done correctly!

Thanks
