Hello,

We have one particular customer whose SBS 2003 box is giving me some heartburn when it comes to setting up OWA.

I've set it up for HTTPS only, and setup permissions the exact same as our other many working OWA systems. Here's what happens when I try and hit the "broken" one:

When I go to: https://server.domain.com/exchange, I get prompted for a username and password, which works properly.

After login, I get a warning that the page contains a mix of both secure and non secure items. If I don't display the non secure items, I see the two "panes", both of which contain an "action cancelled" page in them. If I do display non secure items, I'm prompted again for my username and password and get an SSL warning that the name of the server doesn't match the name on the certificate.

The problem is this:

A small amount of the content is from https://server.domain.com/exchange, but most of the content is from https://server/exchange &
https://server/exchweb. This is leading to my SSL errors, as the name on the certificate is server.domain.com not server.

Exchange 2003 SP1 and post SP1 fixes have been installed, and otherwise, the server seems to be working properly.

In IIS, the directories are setup as folllows:

Exchange directory:

Require SSL, Require 128 bit encryption, Integrated Windows auth & Basic
auth are both on.

Exchweb directory:

Require SSL, Require 128 bit encryption, anonymous authentication is on

Public directory:

Require SSL, Require 128 bit encryption, Integrated Windows auth & Basic auth are both on

This is really bugging me, any help anyone can offer would be great. I realize this may be a bit confusing, so please, ask some questions...
