Secure Web access to CRM

Scott

I read a few other posts about exposing CRM3.0 to the web. I have opend and
forwared port 5555 to my CRM server and it works form the outside. But how
do i encrypt this traffic, or this specific website. When I am outside of my
network I can access my server via HTTP://CRM.blablabla.com:5555 and it works
fine. But there ther is no SSL connection for this. I can access OWA fine
via HTTPS://CRM.blablabla.com/exchange.

At the minimum you need to enable SSL on the CRM web site. However most
deployments I have seen or worked onrelied on some form of VPN solution
which means the users had to remotely login and authenticate to the network
then access CRM.

So I just need to enable SSL on the IIS website, kind of like enableing SSL
for OWA?
