OWA - SSL - How to use a certificate

Hi,

I'm new to Exchange and I want to configure my Exchange 2003 OWA so
when users connect, the conversation is secured with SSL. I will be
purchasing a certificate from a well known vendor. Does anyone have any
information on how to do this or links to good documentation? Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try GoDaddy - $29/year. Can't beat that with a stick (it also works with
Activesync)

I notice you've got some duplicate posts here. Try using a news client, such
as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express, rather than the pretty
clunky web interface to the newsgroups. It's a lot easier to do nearly
everything that way. You can mark messages to be watched, filter the views
so you can see replies to your posts easily, and search.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
