I'm a novice when it comes to SSL certificates, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm hosting a website on my w2k3 server for Windows Server update services 3.0(WSUS). My goal is to get all my WSUS servers to sync with each other. I have my main server protected with SSL, and all is working fine internally. I've punched the hole in my firewall for the SSL port, but from the outisde I can't access the site properly. When I try get the remote WSUS server to sync with my main server I get the error:
WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. ---> System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.
Something's wrong with the certificate I created. Internet Explorer will load a separate test https page I made on the server, but it also shows an error that the certificate can not be verified to a trusted certification authority. I did take the certificate file and imported it onto the remote server before attempting the sync.
My internal network is setup with the domain name of "domain.domainname.local" and externally I have the same name registered only it's a .com (domainname.com). I think the problem is a result of the .local verses the .com.
Could someone tell me how I can make this https website accessible from both my internal network and also from the internet? I'm guessing I need to modify the cert somehow?
Thanks.
