Win2k3 Certificates not accepted as Trusted Authority


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm running Win2K3 R2 and Exchange 2003 and installed Certification

Authority to process certs for OWA. When a user clicks to trust/install the

certificate during an OWA session the cert is never saved to the Trusted Root

Certificate Authority section of their browser and they are prompted the next

time they log on to trust /install the cert. Manually copying the .cer file

and adding it to the local computer (even directly to the Trusted Root

Certificate Authority container) has no affect. Please help, any assistance

is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response, I used this procedure exactly:

Although the procedure installs a CA and installas an SSL certificate, it is

a far cry from properly setting up a PKI and establishing certificate trust

in the enterprise.

Please look for the best practices whitepaper I referenced.

You have a long way to go on the PKI front for your deployment.

Brian, for the convience of the poster and because I was interested as well,

I tried your web link with the following result:

 

the web link is not found and it gives you a list of options. Which is best

for the user to choose.

 

http://www.microsoft.com/pkl

 

We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.

See below for search results close to your request, or try a new search.

 

Unless I copied and copied your web link incorrectly which is entirely

possibly since I am but a human computer user. <smile>
