SSL

We got a notification from Godaddy that our SSL has been renewed and is ready to be downloaded and installed. This download will not work you will need to Re-key, wait for verification ( 30 minutes ), and install this new certificate.

• Log into the Exchange Console and click on “New Exchange Certificate“.
• Give the new cert a name. I prefer to match the domian the cert is for such as “mail.mydomain.com“. If the common name doesn’t match the certificate name you will get warnings when you visit the page.
• We often don’t use the “wildcard” feature, so we leave it blank.
• In the Exchange Configuration page we set the following settings.
  • Client Access Server ( Exchange Active Sync )
    Check “enable” and use “mail.mydomain.com“.
  • Client Access Server (Web Services, Outlook Anywhere, and Autodiscover)
    Check “Enable Web Services is enabled“.
    Check “Outlook Anywhere is enabled”
    External host name for your organization
    “remote.domain.com, mail.domain,com”
    Check “Autodiscover used on the Internet”
    Check “Short URL”
    Autodiscover URL
    remote.domain.com
  • Client Access Server (POP/IMAP)
    Don’t check anything. We don’t use these anymore, but you can if you need it.
  • Unified Message Server
    Do not check this.
  • Hub Transport Server
    Leave these unchecked.
  • Legacy Exchange Server
    Leave unchecked.
• Click Next
• Certificate Domains
  Verify the Domains and click next.
• Organization and Location – Just fill out the company information
• In the Certificate Configuration verify the “CN” or “Common name” is “mail.mydomain.com” and click “New“.  The certificate will complete, but it will take up to an hour to be verified. After that you can download it from Godaddy.
• Log into the Godaddy account and to the Certificates area. Find the Cert you are looking for, select the type, and hit download.
• Unzip the download.
• Go back to the Exchange server, select the “pending” cert, and click on the “Complete Pending Request”.
• Hit browse to find the “.crt” file. You will need to change file type to “All Files(*.*)”
• Select your “.crt” file and hit the “open” button.
• Hit the complete button.
• You can now go back to the Exchange Server and assign Services such as IIS, SMTP to the cert.

Here is a great article from Godaddy explaining the Cert on an Exchange 2010
