OWA signature and https

Ish · 20 Oct 2009 at 08:15

Hi

We use some mail signature manager software http://www.symprex.com/products/email-signature-disclaimer-manager/

The logo in the signature is on our webspace.

We have a problem that only affects OWA which is that when composing a new mail the sinature appears twice.

Symprex have said it is caused by:-
"This is caused by your logo image. A Microsoft Exchange security fix made OWA insert the signature twice when OWA is run from a secure site (https://) and the image is on a normal site (http://).

You will have to copy your image to a secure site (https://). You can use your OWA server for example. Then change your signature in Mail Signature Manager to use the image from your https:// server. It is important that you have a valid certificate on the https server and that you reference to it by its internet name or the receiver will either not see the logo or get an ssl security warning."

My question is where exactly do we place the logo image so that we won't get this problem? We don't have an SSL cert either.

Thanks

You need a certificate and a SSL enabled website to make it work. You could buy a cert for your existing OWA setup (which gets rid of the annoying warnings for everyone) and just put the logo into the root of that site, and then reference it from there.

FYI

I bought my SSL cert from here: http://www.rapidsslonline.com/rapidssl.php

Very cheap

ethos, excellent price from them! Thanks

mikeh501, I have a certificate for our OWA ordered so where exactly on our SBS server do I put the logo...which folder?

i'm not sure where it lives by default on SBS. Best thing to do is goto control panel and open up the IIS management snapin. Then on the website do properties which should give you its path. Just drop the image into the root of that path.
