we are configuring OWA with SharePoint 2013 and we need to allow only https , we have configured owa server as following

we have followed this article http://www.sharepointblog.no/?p=299 but we changed first command to allow only https

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL "https://owa.company.co" -ExternalURL "https://owa.company.co" -CertificateName "OWA-OFFICE-SP" -EditingEnabled -OpenFromURLEnabled

Certificate in OWA server : OWA-OFFICE-SP issued to company.local

CN = *.company.local

OU = IT

O = company

L = City

S = City

C = US

Certificate in SharePoint server : portal issued to company.co

CN = *.company.co

OU = IT

O = company

L = City

S = City

C = US

when we connect SharePoint to OWA server

New-SPWOPIBinding –ServerName "SPOWA01VM-EXRY"

we get this error

Hi SharpRan,

Whether SharePoint registered with short name in SharePoint while certificate having the FQDN?

If so, there are two methods:

  1. Get another certificate with a matching subject name.
  2. Rename server in SharePoint farm to its FQDN.

Here is a similar post for your reference:
