IMAP4/POP3 with SSL in EX2003 Cluster   

Hello,

We have EX2003 frontend servers in NLB-cluster and EX2003 backend servers in 
a Windows cluster. IMAP4 and POP3 without SSL works correct. We try to 
enable SSL for IMAP4 and POP3. Installed a certificate on the frontend 
servers and opened the ports 993 and 995 on the network. When we try to 
connect to our frontend we get the error:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for 
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of 
inactivity. Account: '... a name ...', Server: 'our frontend url', Protocol: 
POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Same for IMAP4, we tried this with different clients. All with nthe same 
results.

Any suggestions??

Regards, Peter Kerkhofs

Have you only installed the Certificate on the FE? Have you verified ports 
993 and 995 respectively are configured correctly on the IMAP and POP3 
virtual server/s?

The certificate is on all the frontend servers, not on the backend servers. 
Ports are correct configured. Checked it just a minute ago.

When i try it fom one of the frontend servers with outlook express i get an 
event 1051 in the eventlog:

Event Type: Error

Re: IMAP4/POP3 with SSL in EX2003 Cluster SOLVED   

Problem was: i installed the certicate only on the OWA-website not on the 
IMAP/POP-services

Hi,

Yes the certs are assigned on the virtual servers. Glad it is sorted.
