I am thinking about coding a frontend app (thats the correct term, right?) for an online sms service. The service is http-based requiring forst a login to the site itself, and then another form sending the actual message. The login site is http but once you've logged in it's all https, including the message page.
Is there any built-in support for SSL in Android?
I am using HTC Hero btw.

All need some help. I'm trying to utilize the Push Mail technology. I have set up to sync with an exchange server correctly, however within our company we use certificates to authenticate. So I expported my certificate and imported it into my 8125. When I go to look at my certs in my 8125 I see that it imported successfully. Now when I try to sync it asks for the password and it comes back with an error code of 0x85030028 (cannot obtain a valid cert). Now if I use my PIE and go to the OWA which utilizes the cert as well it sees it and authenticates just fine. For some reason activesync isn't seeing it. Any ideas how to fix?

From what I know, you can't use certificates with Push email. You have to setup a new virtual site on the server running OWA called it Exchange-PPC or something and have it set for Intergrated Authentication, then you would configure your device to hit the new site like http://www.site.com/exchange/username or something like that.
There's a little more than just setting up the site, some registry changes, check Microsofts site for the error number, you'll find a KB document explaining how to setup the Virtual Site for syncing with your device.
I have just noticed that Google have released a Blackberry application for their Google Mail Hosted service for domains.
They suggest users visit m.google.com/a on their Blackberry for further info.
This doesn't work on a Hermes device, as the browser is recognized as not being a Blackberry.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use this (or some other way) to access GMail *hosted* accounts using push in some way?
Bump.......................
could you provide a link to where it gives the software application? (apart form the visit on blackberry site).
I wish I could, but unfortunately I can't!
Unless anyone knows how to fake the User Agent in an http request, to fool Google into thinking that I'm using a Blackberry browser? That may trick the site into allowing me to download the app and grab the correct URL of the file...

it does not install though, says failed to install midlet.
My company recently discontinued support for activesync in the exchange server. I found out about emoze and it was working, until they changed the webmail access. Now, instead of the pop-up that asks for login and password, the page itself has a field for login and password, so I'm guessing that's why emoze doesn't work anymore. Is there an alternative that works on these cases?

Choices are limited really; you could sign-up for another push email service - the free one from Mail2Web (http://www.mail2web.com and look for the "live" option), or there is another one offered by an xda-devs forum member "DeniaL" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305612).
Both of these are free, they work using push email, but the question is whether you want your corporate email held on "someone else's server".
It may be something you're allowed to do (or you could get away with ), but my company would **** on me from a great height if I forwarded my email to a third party.
I use Mail2Web for my Gmail account and a couple of others so I know it works well; the decision is yours!!!
HTH,
Mark.
no, I really can't do that, if there is a solution, it must use the company's server directly.
My company runs an exchange server for email, and I was wondering if anyknow knows how to connect to them, using the mogul. I went through the setup on the phone, with no success...Are their any additional steps required to connect to the server when you are not on the same network as the server?
Missing Certificate ?
I think you'll have to install the certificate from your Mailserver on the phone to get it working.
Do you get any active-sync error code when you're trying to sync ?
In general you get an error-code in ActiveSync which is telling you what's wrong...
IMHO the best idea would be: aks your IT-Stuff in your company
you need to add a server in active sync with your companys exchange server addy and your username/password
To be clear you need to enter your companies OWA server address. At most small companies this is your Exchange server and at most large companies it is your ISA server.
Example:
You access OWA using https://exchange.mycompany.com/exchange
You enter: exchange.mycompany.com in the activesync settings and you use your username, password and domain to authenticate
You also need to make sure Outlook Mobile Access is enabled on the Exchange Server and on your Exchange Mailbox. You will need to contact your IT Admin to verify these settings.
I'm in the same boat as the OP. I had been trying to hit the mail server directly or via VPN, with no luck, probably due to no certificate. Never thought about OWA. I set this up as indicated in the prior post, and checked 'Tasks' only (just to run a quick test), and it sync'ed fine. I then checked email and calendar, and now it takes me to a company sign-in web page (same page I encounter when using web access to OWA). Weird thing is the page is in the ActiveSync window and does not appear to be rendering correctly or completely (e.g. no 'submit' button). Nonetheless, I sign in and click where the submit button "should be" and the page goes away and it appears to start syncing, only to take me back to the sign-in page again after 15-20 seconds. Any suggestions on how to get past this point? I've tried logging in to OWA from IE, but ActiveSync still brings up this sign-in page. And yes, I've got my userID, pswd, and domain properly set up as well. Thanks.
BTW, my company IT won't help because they only support handheld access for specific company-issued devices.
try using mail.yourcompanymailserver.com/oma
its a lightweight version that handles easy in mobile browsers (only if your IT guys have enabled it)
as for the OP your exchange settings could vary depending on how your admin set it up, ssl (requiring a certificate) or not. to get the certificate from your company you can dl it from the server mail.yourcompanymailserver.com/cersrv
you log in using your mail credentials and you select download certificate chain and select a der 64.
save it to your phone and just install.
chances are though if your company is using a lot of treo's they dont require ssl because you can't install self issued certificates on them (good work palm). so if you want to ask your IT guys their setup and post it here i can try to walk through it with you.
this is my situation and how i got it to work.
Although i tried to internal address of 1x01po2s.domain.name, that didn't work.
I thought about it for a while, and reasoned if i can access my companies exchange server outside the network through a http://mail.domain.name address, then maybe that'll work hahaha
BAM! it did and now it works perfectly fine. Conincidentally, since i started trying to get this going last week, i emailed a few guys i know and the last one who got my email (it was forwarded to try to solve the problem) said that because of security policies, i am not allowed to do this. Ooops!
Here is a quick run down of my settings:
server address: mail.domain.name
ssl is selected (checked)
username: exchange/nt workstation login name
password: user password
domain: network domain (we have different domains)
save password is selected
under advanced you can select whatever options you like
next select e-mail, and any other options you want
and you're done!
I also enabled the push email icon and get my email regularly on my phone throughout the day.
Well, i hope that this helps some of you out.
server address: mail.domain.name

just so folks know there is no standard for this, its whatever subdomain your company decided to put OWA on, for my company its webmail.companywebsite.com
best thing to do would be to ask someone in your company how to access email from outside the office using internet explorer, thats the address your lookign for
Sprint mogul (Titan) WM6.1 Rom update killed exchange server activesync
(Sorry in advance for the long Email) I purchased a Mogul from RS about three weeks ago. For the first week, it worked great! I logged into my company exchange server down loaded and synced email, cal,contacts,tasks ... was very excited. I also got very excited when I started t read threads in this blog .... it seems like there are some pretty smart members maybe someone can help!!
Noticed that there was a new Rom (Sprint TV and improved connection) installed the ROM.
Have spent endless hours with HTC technical support, sprint technical support (not an appropriate name). At times managed to get the email to load but never again Cal, Tasks, contacts. Always able to get sent emails to load (by checking option) . I'm left with a couple of alternatives (any others would be greatly appreciated (actually I really like this phone but I need my email,schedule,etc to work) The error is 0x8503001C there is no exact description about this from MSmobile it seesm to be an awh**** code. Searching on the web provides 1000s of hits unfortunately not just my issue.
o Go to an early Rom WM6.0. So far it seems like to do this I need to unlock the phone then flash the earlier rom?? Since no SIM card I need to hack the registry?? There are several products out there which is best (I do not mind paying for somethng that works well). I down loaded several "Oficial ROm versions ... unfortunately did not write down the number of the one the phone came with.
o Find some way of getting this thing to work well to keep the extra features
o My grace period ends in a week ... cancel with Sprint go to Att but there is not a 3G phone I like ... only Iphone ... it has issues for exchange server??
o I got my wife a Touch at the same time (it runs WM6.1) same issue. Downloaded once my corp email no cal, etc.
o I was told that this Rom was cooked up by MS & Sprint what a disaster
Please, please help ... Thanks in advance

Exchange email and Skype not working after Upgrading Sprint Touch to Wm6.1
The Exchange activesync died at connection and never can sync my company emails after I upgraded Touch to 6.1 Sprint/HTC ROM. Skype also does not work, no sound after first ring, even with 2.2.0.45. I like the GPS and Rev.A speed, and do not want to risk downgrading the ROM. Anybody encounter ssimilar situation?
I have been trying to get my work email set up on my phone. My company only supports the bb phones that they provide for certain employees. So, I am on my own to find a solution. I do have access to check my email via OWA and have been able to do so on my phone using Opera. I have read several places that I should be able to use the OWA credentials to set my email up using the default email client. But, I can't get it working. It allows me to complete the set-up without issue. But, when I try to send/receive it gives me connection error. Based on what I have read if I can login via my mobile browser I should be able to connect using the default client (i.e. IT has allowed mobile access) I am going to post what I did during the setup to see if you guys can identify what I may be doing wrong.
Domain/username: I put the username I use to login to OWA.
Password: my password
SSL is checked
Email adress: my email address
Server name: url for OWA, with https:// taken off. The address is webmail.mycompany.com
When I hit "next" it gives me an error and asks me if want to turn disable certificate verification, I hit "yes"
It then goes to the next screen which says "Success!" at the top. Then I hit "done"and setup should be complete.
But, when I go to that email and try to refresh, it says connection er
Anyone have any ideas?
Have you tried other email apps from the market? I use K-9 mail and it has been solid for IMAP. I know it supports other email systems too.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I tried one (might have been k9) and didn't have any luck. I was hoping someone had experience with a specific app. I tried Googling it, but all I could find was people recommending touchdown.
