Outlook Connector Address Book SSL

Question

I followed the steps to get the Outlook connector to work with the address book and Convergence as described here:
http://wikis.sun.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=42080166
That works well for non ssl connections.
It does not seem to work with SSL connections. When Outlook starts up, I get an error that it cannot connect the address book server.
The url that gets put into the outlook client for the address book is
https://server.domain.com:443/iwc/svc
https://server.domain.com:443 is grayed out. How can I get it ungrayed so that I can change the server and port without having to use re-install the outlook connector?

http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Connector+for+Microsoft+Outlook+7.3+Release+Notes
6228253 : Login to Address Book server fails through Outlook.
Users are unable to log into the Address Book server though Outlook if the Address Book (in Communications Express) is in SSL mode.
Workaround: Open Communications Express within Internet Explorer and permanently accept the self-signed certificate.In this case instead of Communications Express, you would log into Convergence using the SSL path (https://server.domain.com/iwc) and permanently accept the certificate.
