Connecting Outlook 2003 to Exchange 2003 over HTTP Google Search It I tried to connect to Exchange over HTTP today.  Unfortunately, it didn't work very cleanly for me.  When I went to the connections tab in Outlook 2003 there was no option for connecting to Exchange over HTTP.  This article mentioned KB 331320, which provides a link to a download for the Windows XP Patch of RPC Updates Needed for Exchange Server 2003.  This patch fixed the issue flawlessly for me.  It is interesting to note that connecting over HTTP requires SSL.  The connection settings URL begins with HTTPS and you can't change it.  You can find information on how to configure this at the following links: Outlook 2003: New features create new support issues Using Outlook 2003 to connect to Exchange 2003 using RPC over HTTPS 4:35:08 PM   []    comment []

SSL Certificates for a Reasonable Price at InstantSSL Google Search It For some time know I have been cursing Verisign and the exorbitant cost of certificates.  That is why I was so excited to come across http://www.instantssl.com/.  At a cost of $49 per year or less for multiple years, I finally believe I can get a legitimate certificate for a reasonable amount of money. Furthermore, InstantSSL also offers free email certificates through Comdo so that you can encrypt and sign your email.  Thawte offers the same thing but it is quite a bit more involved (this is both a good and a bad thing) to get one that includes your name.  (Previously I have not been successful but today I noticed that of the notaries in Spokane there are two individuals at STCU in Liberty Lake.  This means I could get both the required notaries simultaneously.) 6:12:59 AM   []    comment []
