How to Install a New OWA SSL Certificate
Outlook Web Access (OWA) is an extension of the Microsoft Exchange email server client. OWA lets users log into the email server from a browser. The browser opens an interface that looks similar to the desktop version of Microsoft Outlook. This Web mail is beneficial for employees who travel and must get email while they are away. Adding an SSL certificate to OWA provides encryption when the user logs into the mail server on the browser. You can add the certificate in Windows Internet Information Services (IIS) where the email website is hosted.
