Exchange 2003 SP2 FE server SSL help   
Hi,

We have the situation where we are trying to move from a single BE A/P 
cluster, to 2 FE (NLB'd), with the single BE A/P cluster.

The only question I have is regarding SSL. We have never published OWA 
externally before. By default we obviously have the website:

http://nlb name/exchange

How do people normally publish their OWA sites externally... do people give 
it a completely unique subdomain type name like:

https://owa.company.com/exchange

Or do people simply add a virtual directory onto their existing company 
website called /exchange which then points to their OWA server? I am really 
confused about all this..

Also when we request our SSL certificate, does the common name have to 
contain the /exchange etc??

Any help would be most appreciated?

I've seen companies doing like this.

I've also seen people doing this. It depends on your company and what you
want to do with the web access. Both ways are possible, just a different
way to publish (and if you have a solution to publish subdirectories to
different servers.. isa could do..)

It's just the domain part. eg. owa.company.com the /exchange part can be
ommitted.
