Digital certificate for NLB(OWA) |
|
|
Imagine I have two Win2003 boxes (OWA 2003), NLB configuration.
Do I have to generate an SSL certificate for each box, or should I generate
just one certificate and install on both nodes ?? |

A cert for each box. Some vendors that issue them will check, cause it's
against there rules.

It is supposed to be a cert per box but they both have to have the same
common name. |

Hmmm... can you clarify the same common name ?
Imagine my boxes will be named OWA1 and OWA2. The "NLB/Cluster" name is
myowa.company.com.
I always thought that the digital certificate needed to be generated from a
..csr on the respective boxes ?
Please clarify how the common name will work on this case then ?
