I am trying to explain this the best way i can, sorry if it
doesn't make sense, hopefully someone will be able to
understand what i am trying to do. Any help is
appreciated.
We have the following configuration -
We have installed a stand alone windows 2003 server and
created a domain called "enterprise.local"
We have set up all users and their mailboxes, and put all
workstations on the "enterprise.local" domain
We have set-up the exchange server and installed IIS 6.0
We have a static IP from my ISP (82.69.x.x)
The server's IP address is set as a static IP (192.168.0.250)
We have registered various domain names e.g.
www.fc4.net for e-mail use.
We need a server to be able to use Outlook Web Access
from anywhere on the internet and to able to use push e-
mail for our mobiles.
After installing 2003 server and following all the server
wizards -
The server has automatically been configured for VPN
connections, which i have tested and work perfectly. The
server has also been configured for remote access.
My firewall router is setup to forward TCP port 443 to my
server's IP (192.168.0.250)
I have set up a self signed SSL certificate, issued to
82.69.x.x by 82.69.x.x and added this certificate to the
Default web site in IIS
With the following configuration set-up, i can now use
Remote Web Workplace from anywhere with an internet
connection by navigating to https://82.69.x.x/remote
This takes me to the Windows remote workplace website
that is located under the default website installed in IIS 6.
I can navigate to the site and login using my domain
credentials which then enables me to check my outlook
web access and connect either to the server or any of the
workstations on the domain.
The only problem is when i navigate to the website
remotely using "https://82.69.x.x/remote", IE7 says there
is a problem with the certificate not being valid and it asks
if i want to continue to the site. I can continue to the site
and log-on to remote web workplace. Even though i am
using the address https://82.69.x.x/remote, the site is
not secure because no padlock is displayed in the corner
of the window.
I need to know can get a valid SSL certificate for my ISP
assigned static IP address of 82.69.x.x
Or Can i get my internet domain name "fc4.net" assigned
to the default website? So that i can get "https://
82.69.x.x/remote" to resolve to "https://fc4.net/remote"
instead? If so how do i this.
If not how do i go about accessing the server's default
website remotely using an Valid SSL certificate and using
the https://82.69.x.x/remote address?
Thanks
