If you create your own cert, you will have to install it into the Trusted Root Authorities on the PC accessing the site. Unfortunately you would need to do it with every PC that accesses OWA.
My suggestion would be to get a 3rd party Trusted cert from someone like RapidSSL or GoDaddy. They aren't that expensive, and will not only work with OWA but also if you plan on any future RPC over HTTPs setups.

First I get a message saying there is a problem with the cert. because it isn't issued by a trusted authority. That's ok. I click to continue and get a message saying that the webpage is trying to open my trusted site. That is ok, but when I click ok to continue I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". If I remove the requirement for SSL and use http://mail...../exchange it works fine. I must be missing something, or perhaps go something wrong in the Cert? Any ideas? My goal is to get an iphone to sync up with our Exchange 2003 Server and just taking care of some details along the way. Not having any luck with that either by the way. Thanks, Paul Everett IS Dept.
