Hi,
Does anyone know the answer to the above question ? I've got a .crt and .ca files to setup user and CA certificates for a VPN connection and I cant find the answer. Apparently the phone wants .p12 files but I haven't had any luck converting to that format either.
I did ask previously about security protocols, but thats sorted now.
Cheers for any help given.
Thanks
Ash.

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

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
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
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
Hi everybody! I've searched for a problem like mine here but I didn't find it, so I'm openning a new thread. I hope it's ok to do that!
I'm having some trouble trying to connect to the wifi network at the hospital I work. I tried to follow the intructions they gave, but these instructions are for desktop computers and notebooks and they have steps that I don't know how to follow in my blackstone. The instructions are the following (for windows XP):
-add a new network with the name: wifiuel
-choose WPA2 autentication
-choose AES cryptography
-choose PEAP access, go to properties and uncheck all options. Also, at autentication method EAP-MSCHAPv2, click on configure and uncheck the option to use the logon's name and password automaticly.
There are a few more steps, but from this last one I can´t go on. When I tap on the properties buton on my blackstone, I get the following warning: "Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you."
In case you just didn't understand the steps because of my poor english, here´s a link to them, but this link is for the windows vista configuration (I chose it because it is mainly in english and it has many screenshots, so I think all of you can understand it): http://www.uel.br/ati/suporte/pages/configuracao-wifi-uel/windows-vista-us.php
Any ideas of how I can solve this problem?
I'm runnig Dutty's Leo Holy Grail R0 rom, with WM6.5 and I can log on just fine in other networks.
Thanks in advance!!!
Hi,
just trying to help u.
in your case, maybe you need some sort of certificate like you stated above. Go ask your IT service/help desk on where you can get one.
Or maybe you need to register your device (WLAN Mac address or you need to use fix IP). For this, you also need to ask help from your IT service to register your device to their list, so that u can connect to their wifi network.
Not much help, but u can try them
Oh, thanks, I was going to do that anyway, but I though someone here could help me or indicate some wifi utility that could handle those steps to configure my network.
Well, thanks for your attention!
Moved as not software release...
Hey, I've got some news
I have some new facts to tell you guys and see if you can help me. First, I discovered that when I just ignore the warning that I get when I click on properties, I get another message saying that the server certificate is issued by an unknown autority and it couldn't be validated. Then I finally talked to the support staff at the hospital and they said that they don't use any certificates at all. No personal nor server certificates are needed. So I guess that the problem is with Windows Mobile, which is asking for certificates when they're not needed.
Is there any way to command WM to not ask for a certificate when logging on a particular network, because I believe this could be the solution for my problem!
Thanks in advance!!!
Hello Everyone,
Am unable to sync exchange with HD2 (energy rom) i recieve an err with the following code 0x85010001. However, nothing wrong with my corporate exchange server if used on other devices.
Please urgent help is required
Thanks in adv
You should check the following as being the most common reason not able to sync with exchange:
- date/time on your phone
- is the correct cert loaded on your phone
- can you connect to OWA using web browser

thnx, wud appreciate your help mate
You need to have a valid SSL certificate from your mail server. But this is only the case when your company doesn't have a purchased SSL certificate but a self generated one. So if this is the case your company admin can provide you with the certificate.
Stan has it...
