Zone Alarm & ActiveSync - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Recently installed ZoneAlarm firewall on the pc, and its completely knackered the ActiveSync capability.
The device is "connected" and is seen and authenticated, but then hangs on the actual sync of the data.
Can anyone offer any recommendations?

Add AS to trusted zone in firewall settings and then set security level to medium for the trusted zone.

The best solution is: Don't use ZoneAlarm
And remember: There are also _good_ products out there...

not hugely helpful to be honest. ZoneAlarm was a free download and does the job for me so I am not looking to replace it.

No way to disable Server Certificate Validation in 802.1x!

Hi,
I want to connect my qtek 9100 on the 802.1x WLAN of my school (ETHZ). It has not been possible yet, although i spent an hour with a person from the tech support of the school.
The problem comes from the very specific configuration that I cannot set on the Qtek 9100!
I need to uncheck the "validate server certificate" option, which is by default for PEAP authentication, something easy to do on a normal windows machine. But the problem is, there is no way to disable this on the qtek 9100 in any "properties" tab, and it therefore complains that the server certificate is not valid, and then refuses to connect!
HOW could I disable "validate server certificate"?? using the registry??
With the person from the tech support we managed to find somehow the registry keys linked to this option in Windows. But of course these keys dont exist on the qtek 9100 in Windows Mobile 5...
Please, is there some expert with some better idea?
Thanks
Fabrice
I havent found a way to do it so far. No various configurations nor random 3rd party software worked on WM5 properly.
This issue is more interesting when consider that htc universal offers LEAP ( which would do work as well ) and wizard dont!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42664
From what I can gather you will need a root certificiate. Still trying to get to the bottom of this though.
it seems that AKU2 allows us to use LEAP which already would do the thing! I'll test in on friday and let you know!
i found some useful info on the net, but have not yet tested them on my MDA Vario:
there seem to be 3 possibilities:
1: you retrieve the root certificate from your techie friend at your university and place it in the designated folder on your ppc.

2: you add a DWORD 0 at HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\ValidateServerCert (http://www.modaco.com/How_to_set_a_wifi_network_to_use_a_certificatel-t237261.html)

3: Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners
Here you should notice 2 sub-keys, both with a unique UID. One is set up for the ActiveSync Partnership with your PC, the other is set up for the partnership with your Exchange server. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to distinguish between the two. Simply highlight one of them, and look at the different values. You'll see pretty quickly which one is for your Exchange server. While the partner key for your Exchange server is highlighted, create a new value with the following parameters
Type: DWORD
Name: secure
Value: 0 (http://winzenz.blogspot.com/2006/03/hacking-your-windows-mobile-50.html)

authors of points 2 and 3 differ from opinion, but I cannot say which is best, perhaps someone else has an opinion?

Hi Predo,
Have you been able to get LEAP to work using AKU2??
Lot of inquiries present on the net, but no clear answers.....
Thx,
Mak
This is what I would do.
This can be easily done from a PC, because you can get a temporary trust from the authentication server which gives you the option to install the root on your PC. Export the root cert from your laptop/PC and copy it over to your mobile device. Once the root.cer is on the wizard just open up file explorer and double tap it the cert will auto install.
Problem solved
I wouldn't use LEAP or even PEAP without validating the server cert. Especially in a hostel environment like a university, which is full of hacks. Associating to an AP without validating certs sets you up for man in the middle.
The only advantage LEAP or Fast EAP (if it were supported) is for roaming. The wizard would also have to support CCX v3. You can get this CCX v3 support by purchasing Funk (now Juniper) Odyssey client, which is $50. When using LEAP or Fast EAP it allows the use of CCKM (fast roaming).
Oh yeah, the odyssey client supports PEAP with the option to not validate the server cert.
hi, i dont know why is that but after upgrading software to new aku2.0 rom ( imate afair ) i started to be able to connect to my university wlan with no problems. Only thing is there i have nothing added in leap tab in network properties.
Anyway, it works so i'm not playing with settings anymore ;-)

Automatic Outlook Mail/Exchange Synchronizer [rk-OSR] [Latest Update: 15 OCT 2007]

rk-OSR version 1.0.10 Automatic windows mobile outlook mail and exchange active synchronizer.
Here is a application I developed for my personal use now sharing with you all for non commercial use.
I basically use this utility to check emails from multiple email accounts from my windows mobile device using the wifi, gprs networks
You can even perform Exchange Active Sync too!
Feature list
Works on windows mobile 5 and 6.
Can sync up multiple email accounts at multiple schedules setup.
Can perform Exchange Active Sync.
Connect using: Wi-Fi only, Wi-Fi if not GPRS, Manual Wi-Fi, Gprs Only or Existing connection(USB)
Switch off GPRS/3G after sync
Option not to sync during Saturdays and Sundays
Get notified on emails or failed attempts
Get notified with custum sound(wav files).
Keeps device 'Alive' till all the accounts have been synchronized.
Supports 'Silent' mode.
Supports command line initiation.
Supports one touch* email checking(one touch on the shortcut connects to wi-fi network and switches between accounts and synchronizes and then hangs up wi-fi)
Can be set to sync only if device sleeping.
Does not write anything to registry.
Does not run in background.(works on notifications)
You can uninstall the application from ‘Remove programs’ and delete the application directory.
Installation:
Install the cab file attached below
After installation launch the program rk-OSR from the programs and go thru each tab page to configure it and finally save the settings (make sure the Enable check box is checked) test the functionality if working properly. Then close the application. Now the sync should happen at next specified schedule.
*One touch synchronization: A Very good feature for people checking mail manually, so that you do not have to switch accounts and click the sync menu each time or start/stop wifi etc, just one click to do that now. You can also assign this shortcut to hardware buttons. The new install adds a new program icon called ‘rk-OSR-Now’ to your programs list. But you need to do the following procedure done before attempting ‘rk-OSR-Now’ shortcut.
You should configure the ‘rk-OSR’, and make sure it is working properly and you are able to synchronize your accounts properly.
You must edit the shortcut, rk-OSR-Now; add additional text “Now” without quotes. Basically your target should read as below
"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Now
Hope it is simple to configure.
I have been using it on TyTn with WM6.
By the way this is my first WM application!
Code:
Following command lines supported
"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Now ---> Checks the mail manually
"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Enable --> Enables the rk-OSR
"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Disable --> Disables the rk-OSR
Update: 1.0.10
Added better file browser to locate the *.wav files
Fixed the bug with the 'Wait time to Sync'
Email.zip is a sound wav file 'You got mail' (ofcourse female voice! )
Note: this application requires Compact Framework 2.0
You need compact framework 2.0 installed inorder to run this application. The compact framework is already part of WM6, so if your device is WM6 skip this step. But most of the WM5 devices do not have this update. So you must download here and run the installation on your desktop (then active sync to update your device). Only after completing this step install the application.
New: If you want 'Push Like Mail' support please follow the application link to rk-SMS Switch
How to info for rk-SMS Swich with rk-OSR here
If you like the application please show your support by donation on Paypal
Download from here
Looks like this post of mine pushed down too fast because of the WM6 release(Wrong timing )
So i am just bumping my post up.
Anyone has any feedback?
I have synchronization problems whith gprs connection and activesync.

If you have synchronization problems already the rk-OSR might not work for you.
rk-OSR just schedules the outlook synchonizations, all the sync logic is on the outlook, not in rk-OSR
First you have to fix the problem with your sync, then only you could use rk-OSR
HTH
rk-OSR Update 1.0.1(One touch sync)
Please read the first post for the updated information and the cab file.
tytnguy - I'll try the app and get back here.
the idea sounds solid and do sync manually, so thx for the app allready
Keep up the good work in making life better for everyone
Update 1.0.2
There was a bug..
If you used Wifi to sync then any subsequent attempt to switch on wifi using the communication manager would fail(till soft reset )
Its fixed in version 1.0.2 now
I'm not sure why this app is not getting more attention, i mean syncing over wi-fi, isnt that what everyone has been cribbing out ever since AS4/WM5 came out??
neways, thnx for the app, will try it out..
let me see if I understand this app correctly before testing it :
At a given schedule it will turn on wifi
Synch
disconnect wifi
Right ?
What if im not at home at the time, so dont have wifi, will it default to GPRS ?
What happens to the schedule I have allready set in activesync ?
Right now i have just scheduled in active synch. So it uses either wifi provided I turned it on when i got home or if not turned on, GPRS.

Question:
Hi there tytnguy, I've got a question:
I'd like to use your app; I have an exchange account for work; but for my private mail I use the Outlook Mobile. The problem is that when I set it to sync every 30 minutes or so; it keeps doing that during the night; waking me (an the misses) every time someone tries to sell me Viagra, Russian brides or weight-loss pills.
The times you enter in the "schedule-tab"; are those the exact times that the app will sync? Or are those the times between which the "outlook-Mobile schedule" will be active?
BTW: looks brilliant for a first-timer!

Sure, in active sync, in the email properties you can say check for new mail every 4 hours or2 hours etc.., and determine settiings for peek, and off peek days/times.
It then checks if i have new email according to this, using either wifi provided I leave it on, or gprs if wifi is off.

Are you able to setup the network configurations to use Wifi and if not available then to use GPRS?
I am not able to do it on my TyTn?
I dont think I setup anything specific really...
If Wifi is avaialble and the phone is connected to my acees point at home it uses wifi to connect to the internet and so on
If its not, it goes through connecting to the net via GPRS
Im running WM6 by the way.

Auto data connection and stay switch on

Hi,
My second problem is that my Iolite activate data connection by itself like it was trying to download or uploade something (MMS or something), but the connection stay alive for a long time and nothing happen.
When I turn off data connection, it turn on again in a few minutes.
To avoid costs I use program which disable all configured data connections (program called "NoData"). But when all connections are disable, my Iolite don't turn off the screen and backlight after inactivity time.
I think that the reason can be in Microsoft Direct Push, but I don't use it.
This article is similarity to my problem: http://khason.net/blog/how-to-disable-exchange-security-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices/
The problem apears today. I have my Iolite for 2-3 weeks.
Help me please... It's so frustrating...

The topic you have paste is about totally different problem.
I'm not looking for program which can turn off unused connection, but I'm looking for a reason of unexpected turning on data connection.

I think, AdvancedConfig will be the right decision. Found it here.
Iolite comes with some apps, which use Data connection. For example Weather (default setting is to update it no matter what) or QuickGPS (downloads sattelite position info). Also when you are browsing via WiFi or ActiveSync, it might sometime disconnect and Data connection is automatically started.
Microsoft DirectPush is used with Exchange server (for example, I use it with my company email) and you must configure it. It is not enabled by default. Anyway, when I don't want to check email all the time, I just disable DirectPush and it stays disabled.
You also might to check, what app is using your DataConnection. Try SPB Wireless Monitor (I think it is trial), which can show you, what app is using which connection.

Yes, I know that. I turn off weather updater and quickgps (and footprints or something) first day. And I don't have any problem till today.
But what is strange: after disable all data connections some program prevent screen from switch off...
OK, I'll try SPB Wireless Monitor.
Just an idea. Aren't you using CorePlayer or TCPMP? CorePlayer can use network and data connection and also it can override display sleep time.
Advanced Config
in "data connections":
- GPRS auto attach: disabled
Manila TF2D
in "Weather tab"
- menu -> settings -> disable "automatically download weather data"
Settings (Start -> Settings -> System
in "location settings"
- disable AGPS
Messaging
- disable the automatic e-Mail-Download (when it is enabled)
I hope, that will help.
Greetings

Android for the Enteprise???

Hi All,
I have been looking at the HTC hero as a replacement for my HTC diamond running WM 6.1. I use the phone for work purposes (outlook sync, calender etc).
WM devices are allowed to connect to my works network (3G) as WM has the ability to do security policy enforcement i.e. pin enforcement, remote wipe and encryption.
Is there a similar security policy enforcement function developed for Android. I have searched high and low on the internet and on the forums however I don't see any clear answers.
Manks thanks - Sanibak

HTC HD2 the network requires a personal certificate

Hi all,
I have bought HD2 yesterday and today when I try to connect to wifi of my office it asks me to "the network requires a personal certificate to identify you", while I have done some research and followed below threads, but there seems to be no clear solution. Please can somebody help with a patch to disable network certificate check.

I have been struggeling with this also for quite a while.
The suggestion you mention is probably not worth while investigating.
The certificate is required by the access point so you should change it there is you do not want to cahnge the phone.
My solution was the following.
The HD2 comes with a base set of certificates and our corporate network requires one that is not in there.
I managed to find out which certificate I needed and was able to Google it.
Then just copy it to the phone, run the cert file and you're done!

You cannot patch your device to disable this.
It is a requirement of YOUR network.
You need to find out which base certificate it is you need and then install to your phone.
Hi. Sorry to bring up an oldie, but I'm having this issue as well with the exception that my network doesn't require a certificate. I've confirmed this with my IT department. Any ideas as to how this can be disabled? It only seems to happen when I connect my phone to my PC (which is only done to install software, not sync with exchange; that's done wirelessly).

The only thing you have to do is to add a DWORD Regestry Entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MAICHNE-->Comm-->EAP-->Extension-->25
Name:"ValidateServerCert"
Value: 1 to activate Validation, 0 to turn it off"
I have personally tried this and works like a charm, please let me know if doesn't

Nice!!!! Thanks for the information . I will give this a try as my work wireless network presents the same problem.
It may be tied into the following info I found out there on the web, problem as described by someone else with the same or similar issue:
"the wireless controller was sending out EAP-Identity-Request packet very quickly (1 per second), so the time I typed my pass on the PDA, it has already received 5+ EAP-Requests and when I pressed OK, it was sending my Identity with Request-ID=1 and was rejected because the controller was already expecting a greater Request-Id.
I adjusted the timeout and voilà !!! Here is the command line for Cisco Wireless Controller 4402 (the value was set to 1s !) :
"
This info relates to WM EAP and Cisco's implementation of EAP.
I will try the regedit and see if this fixes things for me.
i tried doing this by entering a dword via regedit but i am still facing the same issue...please help
