Using in-house certificates with
I had problems when our OWA certificate expired, and being the cheapskate that I am, I tried generating the certificate myself.
The house of MS has decreed that you can have your own certificate server, which seemed a little like overkill to me, but after a few abortive attempts of trying to create certificates without the CertServ, I then loaded the darn thing. The problem had to do with root certificates and the WM5 couldn't load them or my half baked attempts were not producing

Of course, on my own blog,the helpful subtitle reads, "Interests, ideas, notions, tangents" --- so now you see just how helpful some other connections are.
Best wishes,
