SSL using locally generated certificate

I'm getting ready to secure my Outlook Web Access 2003 with SSL. The web
server is running Windows 2000 (IIS 5.0), and the Certificate Server is on
the Exchange server (Win2003). I've set up a test folder, created a
certificate using Certificate Authority, and installed it on my web server.

When I access my test folder using the full web address from inside the
firewall (ISA 2000), everything works as it should. When I try to access it
from outside, I get "Cannot find server or DNS Error."

Did you set port 443 on your firewall to access port 443 on your web server,
and allow incoming connections? It sounds like that's the step that's
missing.

Port 443 is set up correctly - but I think you've pointed me in the right
direction. I think this is an ISA configuration problem. There's an option to
"Enable SSL listeners" that I hadn't activated. As soon as my tester
(daughter) wakes up, I'll have her try it.

Thanks.
