Please help

I am looking to get a SSL Cert from Verisign and I have a domain name
question/issue.

I have a public FQDN for my domain and I want to run MS Outlook Web Access
on my Windows 2003 Server running IIS 6.0. The issue I have is that the
local domain name varies from the public domain.

Public is Enviro-Asmnt.com
Local Private: Office.Enviro-Asmnt.
I create a Cert key from IISM 6.0 to have a trial key with a common name of
mail.enviro-asmnt.com
I installed the key and attempted to access the page from an out souce and I
get a security alert. It does not ask if I would access the Cert like I
have seen before.

If I do it locally I do not have the problem.

I did create a DNS record (A) for mail.enviro-asmnt.com
Maybe that is way locally it works.

Can anyone give some advice on how I can get around this security alert pop
up.

Thank you

Hi Mike,

You can only choose one common name for your certificate so the popup will
only not show up when you use the URL that matches it to access the site.
I'd suggest using the external URL as the common name and then letting your
internal users know they will have to hit OK to the popup. The other way
around this would be to create another site that points to the same content
that has a different certificate installed with the other common name.

Hope this helps!
