I need to install a certificate for wifi on my university. As you all know PEAP needs a personal certificate. But when i install the certificate it's placed in the base folder and not in the personal folder.
Yes i added the ValidateServerCert to the registery.
Anyone can help?
If I am not mistaken it should be in the base
or it may depend on the certificate
In my case I also need a cer to use my Uni's WiFi and when I install it I find it in the base list
my problem is the certificate seems to be outdated otherwise according to the instruction I had the certificate should be in the base list.
Not sure if this helps, I have a digital certificate which allows me to get onto my work email from home.
I just copied the certificate to my memory card and then opened it through the phones file explorer.
It installed the certificate for me.
I installed the certificate the same way as you. But when i try to connect the router, it says: "you need a personal certificate" and personal certificates are used to identify yourself and base certifactes are not. So i think i need to get that certifacte to te personal folder.
Have you tried via ActiveSync? Saw an option last night, although have no experiences with certs.
Try secureW2 plug-in. (use google to find it)
A common problem is that you need certain root certificates as well- and WM doesn't download/ install them.
There are even networks that you won't be able to connect to using PEAP- like the one my uni uses. Don't ask me for detailed reasons... It's some kind of yet unsolved WM-WiFi-certificate-issue.
i use secureW2 as well at my university... works great

Hello Everyone
I have configured my server & device (SPV M3100 WM2005) to allow direct push but when I sync I get a error which states my security certificate is invalid?
I created the certificate via StartCom Free SSL CA which have sucessfully installed on my server. (OWA & OMA all working correcly using SSL)
However when I try direct push I am unable to sync receiving the above security error.
I have tried exporting the cert to my device..no luck
I have tried using the smartphoneaddcert..no luck
Is this a problem with my orange operator not allowing SSL cert to be installed?? Is there away around this? Eg registry hack etc? If yes, how?
thanks in advance
Jonathan
Check the date and time on your device... it must be correct for the cert to be valid...
Also search for adding root cert via xml in google.
You could just disable security entirely...
You have to make sure the CA issuing the SSL cert. to use is in the trusted root CA list. If that's unsure, you can add the root CA cert again. The free SSL cert company should have the cert being able to download. However, if it's internal CA via Windows, that pretty easy: just use PIE to browse to the CA cert page and click "download root cert". Good luck man.
And if you can't get the certificate to download, you can always put the root certificate on your PDA (by AS) and execute it, then it'll also be registered propperly. After that, it should defenitly work.
i too use StartCom Free SSL. works great!

I downloaded the cert from the CA page however my device does not recognise the file. It saves as aphp file?

I emailed the cert which was installed on my server, then sync'd it to my device without luck? Do i need to sync while actually attached to my server. I am currently doing all this remotely as I do not have physical access to the server as of yet?
JOY JOY Worked it out!!
I exported my Cert as a "PKCS #7 Certificate"
When I opened the cert I had all three certs in the chain.
I then sync'd all three cert onto my device and installed in order.
My device is now syn'cd via direct push!
Yippeeee
Dear All
I need to connect my htc tyn to my work wifi configuration. The problem is the wifi is based on a root certificate permission. Obviously i have the certiface but with wm5 i can't configure the wifi with the root certificate. I try to use odyssey client for windows mobile but it allow me to use only personal certificate. Can someone help me
Thanks for your great support
Bas
It can be done, it's just not much fun!!!
It's a bit of a convoluted process, but you can install a root certificate on a WM device - only problem is, you have to use a CAB file.
There is an article on one of the MSDN blogs that you can use (I've used it myself about 12 months ago and I still have the CAB on my SD card!). Have a look at >THIS PAGE< to find out how to do it! By the way, the "makecab" program is part of Windows XP, so you don't need to go downloading SDK's etc.
Have a go, hope this helps!
Mark.
I have loaded my certs by exporting them on WinXp to .CER files, copying them to my Jasjam and then opening them in file manager.
You should be prompted to install the cert.
Worked for me.
Dear all
The problem is not to import the "root" certificate to wm5, but how to use it with the wifi (weap) structure.
Hi,
With the normal HTC HD rom, I installed a SSL certificate (*.crt file), by using the file-explorer, and clicking on the file.
Now I installed Dutty's latest rom, and I tried to install the certificate by clicking on it, and it tells me no program is associated with *.crt files.
Is there some other way I can add the certificate to the certificate storage? I use an exchange server that have a self-signed certificate. I had it working before I flashed the rom, so I know its possible, question is how
I hope one of you smart guys know how to do it
Thanks

I needed to install wildcard certificate that my company uses for Exchange. After 2-3 hours of fight (using .crs files doesnt worked well) I found a way:
1. Get "Microsoft SSL ChainSaver" and use it to obtain certificate you need
you will get 2 XML files - for HD use that one for WM6 and rename it to _setup.xml
2. Use "makecab" (got it by default in Vista Business - dont know other OS'es) to make CAB file from _setup.xml.
3. Install CAB file on your device
Rgds,
W.
Thanks! Worked perfectly!
Can anyone school me in how to force a certificate to install to the trusted root instead of the intermediate? I need to install one to work with our exchange server but it keeps going to intermediate and causing the sync to fail.
I know the cert is good because it is the same one i have used for multiple smartphones, but then one of the guys here went and got one of these PDA's, so now i have to re-learn how to do everything. I'm starting to get the hang of it (no offense, but these PDA's are so complicated, it sorta makes me appreciate the simpleness of my excalibur) but I am just stuck at this certificate thing.
I have tried installing the sp_allowcertificate.cab, since it seemed to not have a problem with it being a smartphone program, but it also didn't fix anything.
PLEASE if anyone can help at all it would be greatly appreciated.
All I do when I have to setup an Exchange sync with an SSL certificate is export the SSL certificate itself from your web-browser as a .cer or .crt file. Then copy it to your device and run it from there.
duh, i fixed it. i had this problem once before and i finally remembered what i had to done to get it to work. There is an old certificate and a new certificate and i had accidentally been using the old one, which is the same thing i was doing this time.
i'm currently deleting all the copies of the old certificate, LOL, thanks for your reply tho
No worries, glad you got it figured out. We all have our "moments"

Sorry to Hijack this thread, but I have the same problem. I did exactly what you said, and exported the certificate to the device. But it doesn't recognize it as being associated to a program. I tried crt, cer, der extensions with no luck.
Anything I'm missing? WinMo 6.1

no takers?
Hi,
I've managed to obtain a Comodo certificate and install it on my Desire.
I tried requeting the certificate on the Desire but it failed to install no matter what I did. So I requested it on my laptop instead, installed it to my laptop then exported it in PKF format. Copied the PKF file to my Desire and then renamed it to have the extension of PK9.
Put the PK9 file in the root of the SD card and ran the import certificate option from the security menu in the phone. This worked, the certificate was installed on my phone and I can see it.
Now here's the problem - Despite the certificate being installed I cannot find any way to use it to sign or encrypt emails on the email client on the Desire.
I guess I'm in the same boat as you
I am still trying to figure this out as well. We use IPSec based VPN to connect to the company network. Once authenticated at the firewall, we use our domain account credentials to authenticate to the microsoft exchange server.
Are you guys able to access internal websites that require certificates?
I am logged into my company wireless router and I am able to connect to non access controlled internal websites (i.e. http://). However, I am have been unable to connect to access controlled internal websites (i.e. https://).
