SSL and outlook express

Should I really start using Windows 2003 with messaging??? Please help!

I have a domino server running in hosted environment. Now start hosting domains for friends. They want ssl. I use the CA process did everything I had to do according to the books.

What happens? The web-site is ok. But the pop and smtp account of outlook pops up with:

“”"The server you are connected to is using a certificate that could not be verified.

a certificate chain processed correctly but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider.

Do you want to continue using this server?“”"

No errors on the domino log. Please help or send me a link to some good freeware that is doing ssl pop and smtp as well.

Sounds like you have generated self-certified SSL certificates.

The clients have by default a list of trusted root authorities and your ssl certificates are not stamped by a trusted root, you created your own.

You have 2 main options:

  1. Have a trusted root CA such as Verisign provide you with certificates (at a price)

  2. Have the users install your root certificate into their client certificate lists (awkward if you have lots of users) so they will trust your certificates - duh, this will not fix the problem.

It doesn’t work still… can you help further with a description of the procedure to do this.

The only thing I want is a hosted organisation giving ssl. But I just don’t know the procedure for doing this.

Do I use the server cert admin db or a icl database or the certrequest database for the host??

Please help!!

That’s fairly simple to fix and you can keep OE.

Your Domino Directory does not contain all of the needed root certs. You just need to obtain and import them.

Did this myself to enable certs issued by DigiSign. Cert path:

GTE Cyber Trust Global Root)

±±Comodo Class 3 Security Services CA

|

±My Site

Had to import those first two certs.
