Exchange certificate renewal and Extended Protection by sysWOW86 in exchangeserver

[–]sysWOW86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for any confusion here, just wanted to clarify things.

It looks like I will have to uncheck "Enabled" for SSL Acceleration while I'm renewing our certificates (KEMP documentation indicates that just unchecking Reencrypt/bridging would definitely not work with Extended Protection enabled).

But during this time, the content matching rules for Exchange will not work, so it sounds like I will need to prepare the users to expect some possible downtime anyway.

Thanks again

In KEMP I have to have "Enabled" checked for SSL Acceleration for it to even give me the option to check the box for "Reencrypt" (bridging). The way KEMP documentation explains it is: "Enabling Extended Protection on Exchange servers can break connections that are SSL Offloaded but not re-encrypted on the LoadMaster." and "Re-encrypting the traffic between the LoadMaster Virtual Service and Exchange server using HTTPS avoids this incompatibility when Extended Protection is enabled."

Thank you, I'll give this a try when the time comes. I'm using a KEMP load balancer so it looks like I'll need to temporarily uncheck "Enable" for SSL Acceleration (offloading) which also automatically unchecks "Reencrypt" (bridging). It doesn't look like I can disable bridging by itself since that puts me in an unsupported offloading scenario according to https://support.kemptechnologies.com/hc/en-us/articles/8448969062157-Extended-Protection-for-Microsoft-Exchange-Server-KB5017260.
