Local credentials and activesync with client certificates - General Topics

Hi.
I want to use Active sync on WM5 AKU2.0 with client certificates and local stored username, password and domain on our devices.
I have until now not been able to do this.
When using client certificates for device authentication and local credentials, synchronisation only works until first reboot of the device.
When trying to sync after first reboot, active sync tells me that client certificates are used for authentication instead of username and password.
Does anyone knows about a fix or setting that forces the devices to use username and password for authentication even when client certificates are used for device authentication ?
Thanks
Best regards
Kalimaro

WM5 - Direct Push - SSL & certificate

Hello,
I would like to have your experience feedbacks about Direct Push and SSL under WM5.
I have my own authority of certification (Windows 2003 Server) and I generated the root certificate and installed this one in the terminal.
But activesync does not function (error 8001014). Lot of articles covers the subject, how to add certificates root, the activesync errors, but nothing goes. I spent already much time on the subject.
Then I decided to contact Microsoft. The answer is surprising: Microsoft use direct push with HTTP and not with https (strange isn't it ?)
Here their answer: "Indeed, we have in-house HTC but we pass in HTTP and not in https… If not, WM5 in SSL functions and all the incidents which I saw relate to WM5 and not WM6 and the resolution were to pass in HTTP "
I have create this post to know if somebody made a success of this exploit or if it is really impossible...
Thanks in advance
PS: Does WM6 works with SSL/Direct Push/Own certificate ?
Anyone Please ?
I am using SSL over WM6 right now. What I did was I renamed my *.crt file to *.cer and then put it into the mobile phone and clicked on it to install the certificate. After that I can use SSL over Exchange.

Do you have FormBased Authentication enabled? If so; read this: http://www.petri.co.il/problems_with_forms_based_authentication_and_ssl_in_activesync.htm
And perform option 3. I'm running Exchange 2003 with SLL and Form Based Authentication enabled, and having pushmail.
I am not exactly using Exchange Server but something similar. It is a software by Kerio called Kerio Mail Server. It has push mail features and many other features that exchange lack. Setup is very simpler for me on Kerio than on Exchange but the procedure for setting up Push Mail is very simple: go into your pocket pc, setup the server information and ssl if using it. Then download the certificate from the kerio mail server and rename the file from *.crt to*.cer for windows mobile to be able to install it. Then once it is installed, you can sync and receive mail on pocket pc using push mail. I am not familiar with Form Based Authentication and I think it has no relationship with Push Mail unless you are using it without SSL. I don't think you can use Form Based Authentication since there is only SSL option in the pocket pc. Hope this helps!

I don't know what Georgeot uses for mail. I assumed he used Exchange. And with exchange there is a problem with the ActiveSync, FormBased Authentication and SSL on one computer.

Synchronizing error when retrieving from Exchange 2003 SP2 - error: 0x85010004

Currently using exchange 2003 SP2. My s710 will not retrieve mail for my account or any new account created. Funny thing is it retrieves for another user he currently uses a wm5 device.
I have checked the global setting on exchange server and all necessary sychronizing options are on
Does anyone know how to fix this error: 0x85010004
Your Account does not have permissions to sync with your current settings. Contact your Microsoft Exchange administrator.
Thanks
Hi !
Your Exchange Server Use Https ¿?
I Live This Problem And The Solution Is Install The Secure Certificated On The Pda...
Sorry For My English I Live In Mexico...
Or try, when connected to your PC to open Internet Explorer (on your mobile). You'll have to give a username, password and domain (don't forget to check the remember password checkbox).
Then, it should work without problems.

POP3 Not working after Crossbow Upgrade

Just upgraded my universal (SPV-M5000) to Windows Mobile 6.0 and it is really nice. BUt unfortunately, I have lost POP3 functionality. I have set up my account as before and it just keeps prompting me for password. My POP3 account is on our company Exchange Server. I am using the format Domain\Username\Mailbox for username and the password of course. It does not accept it. If I try the same credentials from a PC using telnet it works so I am not sure what the problem could be.
Anyone experienced issues with POP3 ?
Thanks

or

help me configure outlook for my business Email

Hi Guys,

i read some threads saying we need to install a certificate in the mobile in order to access secure business email. Can anyone list me which certificate to install and how to get that.
Thanks for your time.

I think Business Outlook installs the certificate on it's own with the password lock etc and enforces the security policies.
My business outlook is set with following details:
Username - the one I use to log in
Password - the one I use for my username
Email ID - the business email address
Domain - your business domain that is generally a prefix to your username i.e. domain/username
Server address: if domain/username can't automatically find it. (mostly it does!)
That's it! It took Outlook literally 2 seconds on 3g network to find the server and start pulling my calendar, emails and contacts.
