When I first setup Exchange OWA for my small biz customers, I usually do a self-signed
certificate to avoid the fee for a real one from Verisign. That allows the secure https://
connection to the OWA site. Users get the warning because it's self-signed, but that's
a small price to pay to avoid paying real money.
My question is this....
From what I've seen, OWA still works fine on the https:// url even with the warnings,
but then again there is no secure icon because of the expired certificate.
When the certificate expires, do users still get a secure connection despite the certificate warnings
(encrypted connection on port 443) or does it fall back to a port 80 connection?
