Edge subscription and SAN certificates - 22.Mar.2011 5:51:08 AM

We have two hub transport servers, two CAS servers, and two edge server separated from the others by an isa 2006 server. Mail flow functions, and both edge-servers are active.
We use a SAN certificate on all servers and on ISA listener. This SAN certificate has two FQDN: mail.viauc.dk and autodiscover.viauc.dk.
The existing edge subscription was at a time, when we did not use a SAN certificate, but two separate certificates.

Now test-edgesynchronization result in:
Name EDGE02
LeaseHolder
LeaseType 0
ConnectionResult Failed
FailureDetail The supplied credential is invalid.
LeaseExpiry 01-01-0001 00:00:00
LastSynchronized 01-01-0001 00:00:00
CredentialStatus Skipped
TransportServerStatus Skipped
TransportConfigStatus Skipped
AcceptedDomainStatus Skipped
SendConnectorStatus Skipped
MessageClassificationStatus Skipped
RecipientStatus Skipped
CredentialRecords Number of credentials 0

Name EDGE01
LeaseHolder
LeaseType 0
ConnectionResult Failed
FailureDetail The supplied credential is invalid.
LeaseExpiry 01-01-0001 00:00:00
LastSynchronized 01-01-0001 00:00:00
CredentialStatus Skipped
TransportServerStatus Skipped
TransportConfigStatus Skipped
AcceptedDomainStatus Skipped
SendConnectorStatus Skipped
MessageClassificationStatus Skipped
RecipientStatus Skipped
CredentialRecords Number of credentials 0

In the application log on the hub servers we get these two events:
eventID 1024:
The connection to the ADAM instance of the Edge Transport server failed with exception "The supplied credential is invalid.". This could be caused by a failure to resolve the Edge Transport server name DMZ-EDGE01.via.dk in DNS, a failure when trying to connect to port 50636 on Edge Transport server DMZ-EDGE01.via.dk, network connectivity issues, an invalid certificate, or an expired subscription. Verify the configurations of your network and server.
eventID 1036:
Microsoft Exchange couldn't connect to DMZ-EDGE01.via.dk by using credentials cn=ESRA.DMZ-EDGE01.FND-HUB01.1,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,CN={8B2E60D2-86DA-4C43-B7C1-A27F59C2BE17}. The password hash is cNL/wm/qZ7B50Y1am0JWsIcbog/uIM+/nYQB0Le4rFk=. An expired replication account is the cause. Resubscribe the Edge Transport server by running the New-EdgeSubscription command on both Edge Transport server DMZ-EDGE01.via.dk and this server again. You do not have to run the Remove-EdgeSubscription command.
I would like to resubscribe my edge servers, but one source (http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=26386) states that he had to remove his SAN certificate from the edge-server and install a self-signed certificate in order for the subscription process to succeed.

Another (http://www.networksteve.com/exchange/topic.php?TopicId=22011) states that SAN certificates on edge server are only necessary if you use TLS in mail-traffic (Which we don’t). In all other cases a self-signed certificate should be sufficient.

Are there compatibility issues with San certificates and edgesubscription? If Yes what are these issues and how are they best solved.

Hi,

This article will explain why you don't have to use the wildcard certificate on the Edges but just use an self-signed SSL:

I am not aware of any issues with wildcard certs and the Edge subscription but maybe someone else has other experiences with it.

Johan
