Setting Up Your Computer to Connect to Exchange
The first step in using Exchange is to install our security certificate onto your computer (or any other device that uses Exchange such as a cell phone, or other PDA). Due to costs, we use a self-signed certificate. Certificates are used for encrypted connections and identification; connections between your computer or other device and the Exchange Server, making your data secure and trusted.

To install the certificate:

1. Start Internet Explorer (IE) and in the address bar enter the URL https://mail.synodanw.org/owa.
