Is there anyway to password protect files on my Sprint Mogul. I want it so there is a password required to open certain files on my phone. Is that possible? Thanks.
Hello,
first time Android user here. I know people in my company that use Android phones and I was told that anything over 2.1 would work for our exchange. When I try to set up the account, it tells me that the server requires security features the phone doesn't have. No one at my IT department, TMO support, Samsung Support, or anyone else could get it working. I know it has something to do with the password protection and remote wipe security that my companies exchange server requires. Can someone help me or will i have to go back to the blackberry ? I don't want to go back to that berry.
Try installing K9 and see if it works with your company's exchange system.

Touchdown works well with exchange as well (although it's not free). There is a free trial.
I was using touchdown untill android 2.2 came out then it started supporting remote wipe.

Once you setup your phone it should force you to password lock it from the home screen. Don't know what else they would require other than remote wipe in the event you left the company. I need to make sure I use ssl as well.
Could be a problem with the SSL cert
I use exchange with no problems on all my android projects.
I still have not gotten this to work. N1kkI6, that is exactly what i need on this. I would assume that 2.3 would have this if 2.2 has it right?
from the link you provided:
Exchange support
Improved security with the addition of numeric pin or alpha-numeric password options to unlock device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices.
Remote wipe: Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data in case device is lost or stolen.
Exchange Calendars are now supported in the Calendar application.
Auto-discovery: you just need to know your user-name and password to easily set up and sync an Exchange account (available for Exchange 2007 and higher).
Global Address Lists look-up is now available in the Email application, enabling users to auto-complete recipient names from the directory.

It should work fine. It could possibly be ssl certificate related, or maybe they don't have ActiveSync enabled on your account.. who knows. What sort of error do you get if any? I use Android on Exchange. Is it Exchange 2003/2007/2010?

Hi Guys,
can anyone guide me to configure outlook for my business email. I know the Exchange server address, username password and all details. But whenever i try to configure, its not happening.
i have my office mail configured in my office laptop. That laptop is in the particular domain. So its working fine. Its that has to do something ?
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.
I've followed the instructions from the official Google Nexus guide and installed my personal certificate stored in a pfx file (PKCS#12) in my Google Nexus (ICS 4.0.4). A little problem here is that the certificate is not listed in "User" tab in "Credentials". It works anyway.
But the big problem IMHO, is the way Android protects your certificates. It requests the user to set a pattern, PIN, or password to unlock the screen as the only (?) security measure. I'm missing a password-protected access to my credentials like IE does in Windows for instance every time your certificate is requested by a site.
Is there a method to enhance security of your certificates in ICS and set a password that Android requests everytime an app attempts to access the certificate?
Thank you
Hello. Is there any way to bypass the mobileiron mdm so that I can use my exchange email with Gmail insted of the mail+ app where I have to type a password every time I wanna open it.
