Setting up secure OWA access

I have two servers. One runs Exchange 2003, and the other host the IIS
website. When I type www.domain.org, It goes to the website. When I type
www.domain.org/exchange, it goes to OWA. I went through the steps to enable
OWA 2003 using our own Certificate Authority. I configured the certificate
authority on the Exchange server. But when I try to access the website or
the OWA site, using https://www.domain.org or
https://www.domain.org/exchange, it will not let me through. Do I have to
setup SSL on the server that is the default IIS server as well? One more
thing, typing http://mail.domain.org takes me to the default website.

This is what I followed when I created the certificate. The certificate was
created using the server that runs Exchange 2003. After I activated the
certificate, then I get the navigation blocked error page. Since the
organization webserver and the Exchange server are onseperate machines, do I
need to have the certificate on both servers? I am unclear about what to do
next.

Thanks for your help.

If it a self generated cert you will have to install the cert on the client
machines that will be used, otherwise certificate errors (using IE7 will
block you for example) will occur.

You can get a trusted root cert from GoDaddy or elsewhere for $39 and
upwards. This will negate the need to install your self signed one to all
client machines.

Can't access OWA. Just installed Exchange 2003. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if Exchange isn't working. No one can get into OWA. I point my browser to the server and all I get is the default IIS Under Construction page. If I go to /oma folder, I am prompted
