RE: Instant Messaging and SSL
Turn off "Require 128 SSL Certificate" in the Default Website in IIS and turn it only on at the following virtual directories "/Exchange", "/Public". Note that you might also be unable to administrate your public folders with Exchange System Manager because it uses the IIS virtual directory "/ExAdmin" via port 80 & HTTP (not SSL/HTTPS). > -Original Message- > From: Tom Teater [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 11:57 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: Instant Messaging and SSL > > Good day, > We're using Exchange 2K (sp2) and have set up Instant Messaging. > Everything has been working well until today.

RE: Instant Messaging and SSL
Thanks for the assist. I assume that all the exchanges services as well as the web service will have to be stopped and re-started? -Original Message- From: Siegfried Weber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 3:03 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Instant Messaging and SSL Turn off "Require 128 SSL Certificate" in the Default Website in IIS and turn it only on at the following virtual directories "/Exchange", "/Public".

RE: Instant Messaging and SSL
It might be enough to stop and restart the Default Website and the Exchange HTTP Virtual Server. But you'd do better by restarting IISADMIN and all its depending services. > -Original Message- > From: Tom Teater [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 12:20 AM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Instant Messaging and SSL > > Thanks for the assist.

RE: Instant Messaging and SSL
Hmmm.. I've done this now, but I still cannot use IM. I've cleared the "Require Secure Channel (SSL)" check box from the default web site and enabled it for only the Exchange and Public virtual directories. I've also made sure that the check box is cleared from the InstMsg virtual site. Despite these measures, IM won't work (it still acts like the SSL requirement is in place). Interestingly, when I try to open the default web site on port 80, it too states that SSL security in required and that I need to change to "https" instead of "http". Sure enough, when I change to "https", the site opens. Obviously, I've not done something right, but I don't know what it is. Any ideas, anyone?
