OWA Certificate Problem

[TimKidney]

Hi all

Ive just configured a single SBS 2003 SP2 server with Exchange 2003 SP2 for 10 mailboxes. Ive also configured OWA using an internal SSL Certificate as per this tutorial

http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/SSL_Enabling_OWA_2003.html

I can connect to the OWA site but it keeps stating "There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority."

I click Continue to this website (not recommended). which takes me to the OWA logon page, when i first received this i clicked Certificate Error at the top of IE8 and had the Certificate installed but still every time i access the site i get the same problem.

Ive also added the URL for OWA to Trusted Sites in IE.

Ive installed the Certificate to Trusted Root Certification Authorities as advised elsewhere but still it warns me of the Certificate.

Each time when i go to Install the Certificate it states at the top of the Certificate "The Certificate cannot be verified up to a trusted certification authority"

Im wondering if this is only happening because it wasn't issued by a reputable Third Party and was instead issued by and on my SBS 2003?

Hope someone can help as im not to keen on rolling this out until it seems safe to people?

Many thanks

Tim

I think i have resolved this by manually using the certmgr.msc snap-in and adding to Trusted Root etc.!
