Invalid Certificate when accessing over the Internet, OK over LAN RRS feed

    I'm able to access WHS over my LAN from my laptop via https, however trying it over the Internet gets a complaint of an invalid certificate. I am able to get through by clicking through the warning page, but that of course is a pain.  Obviously I'm using different URLs in the two cases and when I display the certificate details within IE it's clearly intended for the local URL used within the LAN.

    Perhaps significant is that I already had a domain and so didn't set up a new one via Windows Live, etc. So, how do I get the correct certificate for accessing the WHS over the internet without getting the Big Red Warning?

    Thanks in advance,

     Bill

    You'll find a blog post over here that will walk you through the steps. Note that there is no guarantee here; it's worked for others, but if you make a mistake at the wrong time it could be costly...

    If this isn't the Windows Live domain, then you don't have a signed security cert for your domain. You'd need to purchase one and install it yourself

    Pay be in the wrong location but....

    I have the all the relevant ports forward as needed BUT you can NOT access the server remotely outside of my network.  The remote access option says it can not get a connection so although all the relevant connections work fine internally, externally nothing.

    If I change the port forward to a different IP address they all work fine - they are only blocked when pointed to the WHS IP.

    I have seen else where on here people have had the same issue back in 2008 but there appears to be nothing since and it's now 2010 - so has anyone come up with a working solution / patch as yet ?

    A while back it used to work - so it looks like its a patch or application which is causing the conflict.

    I currently have SharePoint working internally but I really need to be able to access this externally - any help any one can provide would be most usefull.

    You already have a thread going. Why not stick with that for now?
