After you have requested your certificate and received the response, you need to complete the request.
- First - check the instructions from the provider to see if there are additional instructions about installing intermediate certificates. If there are, then these should be completed first.
- Copy the SSL response file to the Exchange 2010 server.
- Open the Exchange 2010 Management Console and go back to the Server Configuration window.
- Right click on the SSL Certificate request that you created, and choose "Complete Pending Request..."
- A screen will appear. use the browse button to choose your certificate response file. While the example uses a file ending in .cer, the file could have another extension. You do not have to rename the extension, simply choose to view all files and select the correct file. Then choose Complete.
- You are now ready to assign services to the certificate.
If you are using SBS 2011 DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER. SBS 2011 users should refer to these instructions instead.
Right click on the new certificate and choose "Assign Services to Certificate..."
- You can now select the server that you want to modify the services on.
If the certificate has been exported and imported in to additional servers, then you may find more than one server is listed.
Click next.
- You can now select the services that you want to use the certificate for. Enable the services that are installed on the server. For most users this will be the top four, but not Unified Messaging.
- After choosing Next, you will get a summary screen and the task is complete.
You should at this point run IISRESET on the server. This will break any existing sessions that could be using old or unsigned certificates and make them re-establish the connection using the new certificate.
Other Uses for this Certificate
The certificate can also be used for other tasks, as it has the server's name in it.
- Remote Desktop Services gateway. This allows access to the server and other servers with remote desktop and/or Terminal Services enabled on it through HTTPS, using the same technology as Outlook Anywhere. Set the certificate through the management tool for RDS gateway (SBS 2011 wizard does this for you).
- Remote Desktop. The certificate can also be used to secure regular 3389 sessions. Set the certificate through Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. On the RDP-TCP Properties, on the General tab you can choose the certificate instead of using an auto generated certificate.
