wildcard ssl certificate - exchange 2010 - POP/IMAP problem
- by Sise
previously we have requested a wildcard ssl certificate from godaddy for our major domain.
one of the reasons was the new established exchange server 2010.
usually you require following names included in certificiate:
FQDN (e.g. mail.whatever.com)
Hostname (mail)
Domain name (whatever.com)
Autodiscover.whatever.com
MX Record
with the wildcard certificate these are all covered (except of the local hostname).
During creation/importing of the ssl certificate into exchange 2010, exchange first asks, if a wildcard certificate is used and then encounters an error - due to the certificate is a wildcard certificate and not a certificate especially generated for the FQDN, SSL for POP and IMAP can not be provided.
couldn't find any workaround or solution for this on google, so I hope, maybe some one here has an answer or solution for me! :)
the exchange 2010 is running on a windows server 2008 R2 enterprise.
thanks in advance and best regards,
