Hi

I'm trying to implement Self Signed Certificate for OWA and also for some
other maill stuff to a quite new SBS 2003 R2 installation (All SPs
installed), one NIC. I followed these instructions:
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/SSL_Enabling_OWA_2003.html

Since I had (once again) problems with certificate creation I run multiple
times both CEICW and Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager Certificate
Wizards. Now I have several certificates and my OWA isn't working anymore
from Internet or is extremely slow. Internally it is fast. I suppose I
removed one certificate using IIS Manager.

I wonder how I can remove all certificates and Secure Communications /
Require secure channel settings? Have a fresh start perhaps.

Btw, I can see that the very first certificate made by CEICW is issued to
wrong FQDN but has not effected after running the CEICW to solve that problem.

A also tested same stuff on another server and ended to same situation.

Any ideas?

You can remove the Certificate through IIS Manager-Default
Website-Properties-Directory Security Tab. After removal you can rerun
CEICW to create another cert. My two cents, I would purchase a third party
SSL cert such as Go Daddy SSL Cert if you plan on having mobile devices,
rpc over https, etc. Very inexpensive and time saving.

Thanks John

Will remove them all. Isn't it sure that installing certificate services
doesn't have any affect of this (removing). I'm just little worried that if
delete the root certificate I still can make another.

The performance problem is now solved. I followed these instructions:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/kwsupport/archive/2004/03/14/3903.aspx
Then run CEICW again and created a new certificate again by CEICW. After
reboot the OWA was fast again.
