[SOLVED] Best Config & How To

Post by MartynK »

Are there any best practice or details instructions on how to configure the following all together:

HTTPS webmail and webadmin
EAS

I cannot for the life of me workout how to get both working at the same time on the same server.

I have a wildcard SSL cert, but cannot workout how to use it and configure all for both.

Thanks

Hi,

You may need a dedicated IP address for SSL on each site. Do each sites have dedicated IP's for SSL? What steps have you taken so far to set it all up?

Yes, I have a few IP's and currently a GoDaddy wildcard SSL (*.mydomain.com) that I have on one of the IP's.

I am guessing I need to go register another SSL (eas.mydomain.com) or something like that to free the above one for web access ?

Hi,

No you will able to bind the same certificate under each site so long as its bound to a dedicated IP address. Perhaps if you can provide more detail in regards to the problems you are having in the setup process we can assist further.

Ian,

Thats simple, I am not sure exactly how to do this, in what order I need to do things, what binds to what etc.

Hence a guide or something, I looked in the manual (maybe I missed it), but could not see anything.

OK, so my eas is currently working on port 443 with the certificate.

So if I now create a new site within IIS manager, bind the new IP, attach the cert and point the webmail at it, all should work ?

Yes, although not too sure why you are taking this route though (no real need to create a custom site and point it to the web mail folder). You could create a host header entry within DNS and point it to the dedicated IP address and add the host header entry under the "MailEnable Web Mail" website as a host header binding. The bindings would be: mail.example.com (bound to dedicated IP) - port 80 and same for the HTTPS binding.

Ian,

I was taking that route as I did not know of another, so I will give it a spin and see how I go.

Thanks

Cool, after lots of messing around, new IPs, firewall changes and the like all is working.

Thanks
