This step-by-step guide explains how to install the SSL-certificate, create a web listener, a web farm, and an Exchange publishing rule to secure Exchange 2010 with Forefront TMG.

In my last post I introduced Forefront TMG's functionality to secure Exchange 2010. Today, I will show you how to configure Exchange and Forefront to work together.


Install the SSL-Certificate

• Open the „Exchange Management Console“ and export under „Server Configuration - > Exchange Certificate“ the Exchange certificate by right clicking „Export Exchange certificate“.
• Name the certificate, enter a password and save it as a *.pfx file.
• Copy the file to your Forefront TMG server.
• Open a „Microsoft Management Console“ on the Forefront TMG Server by typing “mmc” in the Command Shell.
• Add the Certificate Snap-in by „File -> Add/Remove Snap-In“ and choose the “local Computer” in the „Computer account“ dialog.
• Open the certificate-tree (Local Computer) and select „Personal“.
• Right click on the „Personal“-folder and select „All Tasks -> Import…“
• Import the *.pfx file. You have to choose *.pfx as the file-type instead of the default *.cer. In the next dialogs keep the default settings.
