My company runs an exchange server that i can connect to via SLL on the web. However, I always got an invalid certificate message. On 2003 devices on ran certchk and i could synschronize my mail, calender and contacts.
Now - with my JJ - i can not get to my mail anymore because of this invalid certificate. I does not help to download the certificate to my device, since it is invalid.
Is there any reg hack, apps or whatever i can use to overcome this?
Thx
Ronaldovic,
Try exporting the root certificate from the Certificate Authority in "DER" format, copy it to the JJ and run it. This should work as the JJ is not certificate locked.
Ferg.
I did - and when i look in settings-certificates - it shows in the list of certificate but with an enddate of somewhere in 2003 (so it is not valid).
Again, with certchk in 2003 devices it all worked flawlessly.
Are the certificates still be the problem now? Or is it something else?
When i sync, i get an error: 0x80072F17
Ah sorry, I read your mail but didn't really read it and assumed I knew what you were saying.
If you can get a reg editor for the JJ (I use something called "Mobile Registry Editor" which is a PC-based app and works through ActiveSync), change DWORD Value under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Activesync\Partners\[Secure] to 0 I gather this will do it.
On the point of the certi though, can you not get the CA to issue a new certificate to the Exch box? When connecting through SSL, ActiveSync doesn;t give you a "Yeah connect, I don't care!" dialog box as OWA does.

got a good reg editor, but can not find the last [secure] part...what do u mean by that? For example below ..\partners i see two entries(default) and (ServerNameChanged). and two directories with strange numbers.
About the certificate thing...if i understand u correctly i will never connect if i do not have a valid certificate?
I appreciate the help!!
YEAH!!! Great, got it working, thx to u!
I just love this forum.
Glad to hear it!
I am back....
The sync goes ok now, but every time i send a new mail, it gets send twice. In my outbox on the JJ there is one email, when i receive i see two coming in (exactly the same)
Any1?
i can get it to look like its working by turning off ssl. e.g. it says sycing 20/20 emails. However when i go to messages there are none there! Similarily contacts, tasks and calendar items appear to be syncing in active sync, but they just dont show up!
Hi,
I have run into the same problem.
Used the tips on changing the registry (for which I really thank you!!!).
However, it seemed working until I realize that my Treo 700w keeps asking for the password. No matter how many times I enter my password correctly, it just keeps asking the password over and over again. It does not save my password even if I select "save password" option.
Have you run into this problem and found any workaround?
Thanks in advance. Bo.
Boryu,
Remove and re-add the server source.
I've had this a few times and it's well annoying! This seems to do the trick though.

same issue
i have the same issue,
i used registry editor but its not allowing me to add the reg key!!
am i doing something wrong,, and were do i add the Secure Dword?
Why don't you just renew the certificate? Just right click the website folder within IIS 6.0 and select Properties. There is a security tab (Directory Security?) within which you can renew an existing certificate.
I had the same problem getting push email to work, and renewing the certificate fixed the problem.

Anybody with experience want to help me out?
guess not... I wonder if I put a reward of helping me do this up. paypal?
A bit more exacly informations please! Is your server configured with a Certificate? (IIS changed to HTTPS only?)
And search the forum, here are already many threads about that.

I got lost on the certification part... sorry. I had a good friend help me set t up.
You know, the search function of the forum is a powerfull tool.
If you used it, you'd figure out there are a lot of threads already about this.
Here's one for you to start with.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41788&highlight=push+mail+doc
On page 2 there is a link to a site that contains a word document on howto set it up. Try that first.
I have it working but not 100%.
I have been using a registry hack everyday to prevent my WM5 device from locking itself every 30 minutes. At around 7:00pm the company I work for forces a policy to my device using push email. At that time I open a registry editor and modify \hklm\security\policies\policies\00001023 from 0 to 1. That prevents the unit from asking for a password for 24 hours.
Making this modification requires very little time compared to entering a password 20 times a day but I would like to stream line the process a little more. Is there an easy way to create a .cab or .exe that performs the same task? After I enter the password at 7:00pm it would be great to click on a .cab or .exe to modify that registry value once a day.
Does anyone have any input on how to create a .cab or .exe to do this?
Thanks,
SeanH
I am half way there. I found that with Resco registry editor I can export values that can be imported by double clicking the .reg file.
When you double click on the .reg file it asks if you would really like to import the reg values. Then after it’s done it pops up another box notifying they are installed.
Is there a way to import them with out all the prompts.
SeanH
i believe this issue has been address on this board here somewhere.. and i think it was determined that its not the device that requires it, but its the exchange server requesting it... And to get that changed you would have to talk to your exchange server admin.. although i could be mistaken, i cant seem to find the post..

You are correct it has been addressed on a few forums. WM5 users have two options to disable the 30 minute password. First is to go to their Exchange Admin and ask them to change it. Second is to modify that registry entry and make sure lock is set to 24 hours. Once it’s set for 24 hours you just need to modify the registry entry.
I work for a very large company with an IT department that does not make exceptions for anyone. The registry tweak has worked great. I am just trying to find a way to make it easier.
If someone does know a simple way to modify that entry it would be greatly appreciated.

same problem here...is there already a solution??
thnx..
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out where the mail settings (in particular the SMTP server) is stored. I was thinking of using MobileProfiler to create different profiles, which I could use to change my SMTP server: if I connect via wifi, I need a different one than if I connect via gprs.
With TotalCommander, I searched through the registry and through the file system, but didn't locate anything.
Any thoughts on where this is stored (and if it is readable)?
Alternatively, I was looking for a "hosts"-file (like in Windows, which links hostnames to ip addresses), as one can modify this to get ip-address to change as one wants. But again no luck...
So, is there a place were this ip/hostname information is stored?
Thanks!
Jörg

It is. Please see my WinCE database & Messaging-related articles. I've described most of this stuff at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=231&more=1

Haven't read your article yet in full detail (just glanced quickly), but does that pmailfolders file also deal with the SMTP servers? (I currently have not yet downloaded mails to this device, and I can't seem to find the databasefile (despite the fact that all settings are all set)
If it does, is it possible to change its contents from e.g. MobileProfiler:
http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/stuff/MobileProfilerReadme.htm
without corrupting the databasefile?
(I'm not a software developer, I just would like to be able to switch/choose my smtp server)
The hosts-file utility does seem like an easier way out, but I'll have to read up more on it. I could my a file for each smtp profile I have (in each file I would put same server name, different ip address), but then I need a way telling the device which of the files to use now. MobileProfiler allows for files to be copied (they illustrate it for Opera-settings), so perhaps.......
Oh, do you know if it is WM5 compatible?
For the time being, do you know an easy workaround? On my Symbian S60 phone, every message had "Sending options", which included the account via which it was sent. I just changed the option to the server I needed to use for the active internet connection, and I could send the file. I can't do this trick on my TyTN...

You should have started right with this
The Messaging databases are pretty hard to (easily) change in WM5 and there are no tools (that I know of) that would do what you need.
Therefore, you REALLY want to check out alternate browsers; most importantly, Qmail. The latter has an XML-based config file mechanism; this means your thirs-party profiler tool only needs to do some very simple file copy/rename operations to completely and easily switch between SMTP servers. Highly recommended!
Please also check out my Mailer Roundup and other, newer mail-related articles; I've published several articles on alternate clients.
Cool, thanks!
Weird though that all these devices (WM5, Symbian, ...) consider a SMTP server to be a property of the mailbox, rather than of the access point. Surely I'm not the only one who needs to change SMTP servers for different access points.
Again, thanks for the help, I'll search for a mailclient that offers better support for this (I'll check out Qmail too).
Jörg
I'm now running QMail, and this seems to sort out all of my problems.
In it, I can still change the account by which a mail is sent (so I can go back to using dummy-accounts like I did before), but I no also have the option to go for the more advanced profile setup using MobileProfiles.
Thanks!!!
(it made the device so much more usable for me)

Hello
I hope I'm posting this in correct area!
I have several WM devices (6.1 and 6.5, Professional and Standard - e.g. Touch 2, Snap, Tytn2), connecting to an exchange server for mail, calendar etc, and they also go through a proxy server for web access .
I want to find an easy way to change proxy server settings on them all without having to go in and manually change proxy server IP address and Port. I've done some searching on here and web in general, and subsequently messed around with creating a CAB file, and an XML provisioning file but neither worked (I found some provider specific proxy settings in registry but maybe these are red herring?)
Then I realised my creations would probably never work anyway because they're unsigned apps which aren't allowed on devices connecting to my exchange server!
Am I missing an obvious and much easier method? Any ideas on best way to approach this?
Thanks in advance
Mantog
Very nice idea, but I don't know a solution.
Where are the IP-adresses stored?
If it works with registry settings, a cab file should be sufficent.
I'm trying to find a way to do this, but hopefully someone already has a solution.
