[21 Feb 2011] [Q] Android Exchange Accnt Setup Error - HD2 General

I've read and searched and Googled but I can't find an answer
I recently flashed my first Android NAND ROM: "CMYLXGOroms.Stock.Desire.HD.v1.1.4.1n.NAND.RMNET.NO-SQUASH-RAFPIGNA.1.7OC_CWM.zip".
Everything went smoothly and it all looks good except I cannot complete the Exchange ActiveSync account.
DETAILS:
1. I'm hosting my own Exchange server -2003
2. My SSL cert is self-generated from my own MS Cert Authority
3. I can view my OWA account via the native web browser w/o issue
4. My settings "appear" to be fine as I can reach the very end of the setup wizard. (If I change any of the ActiveSync account settings to an invalid option - say add an extra character to the server address - I receive an error when I click on "Next")
ISSUE:
1. On the last step of the setup wizard, when I click on "Finish setup" I receive the error:
"Failed to created the account. Please try again later."
QUESTIONS/THOUGHTS:
1. How to you import a SSL Cert in Android?
2. I've read about "Accept All SSL Certificates" dialog box you can check but I don't see one during the setup wizard - only the "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection". Is this a legacy setting or something that is hidden by HTC's SenseHD or? Is there anyway to access this option?
3. I've tried both checking and un-checking the "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection" - both give me the same failed result.
OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. I know this works as I've been successfully using Activesync with WinMo 6.1 & 6.5 on my wife's TouchPro2 and this works fine w/ the stock WinMo 6.5. So it's not a bad config on the back-end.
2. I tried installing Touchdown to see if that would work and I cannot get that to work either.
I'm getting really frustrated - any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
thnx

UPDATE:
I spent all day:
1. Creating a new DNS A record to point directly to my OWA server
2. Upgrading my SSL cert to an offical third-part cert from startssl.com (great service for free BTW)
3. Figuring out how to export/import/modify that cert to be installed on Android
I now have a nice DNS record that points to my OWA server (vs. the old DynDNS pointer) and I appreciate the SSL cert for free find, but I'm still ready to loose it over the lack of ActiveSync support.
Anybody have any idea if this is potentially a ROM issue and I should try another? Or is this a Froyo issue and I should try Gingerbread?
TIA

SSL Error 0x80072f0d

I installed our company root CA on my windows mobile device. It said it was installed successfully. I set the username and password and domain. I selected SSL encryption. Set the server to the required IP address. I tried to sync my email and I get the following error:
"Result:
The security certificate on the server is not valid. Contact you Exchange Server administrator or ISP to install a valid certificate on the server" This is also referred to as support code "0x80072F0D"
I looked at the installed cert on my device and have the following details:
CERTIFICATE DETAILS (ROOT)
Issued to: **SNIP** (THIS IS AN IP ADDRESS)
Issued by: ** SNIP **
Valid from: 5/26/06 to 5/25/08
Intended Purpose(s): Server Authentication
Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Thank you very much in advance.
Any help
This problem is killing me! Is it possible that Softbank is blocking port 443? I seem to have read that somewhere last year. I have had this phone for almost 7 months and I still haven't got it to do what I purchased it for. aaah the ranting.. that felt good

Certificate problem

Hi
Trying for around 24 hours solid now to get my citrix ica client running on the hd2, gets right to the point where it launches the desktop and then dumps me out with the following error:
SSL Error 61: You have not chosen to trust "UTN-USERFirst-Hardware", the issuer of the server's security certificate.
Driving me mad. Really mad. Googled loads, tried importing the certificate after downloaded from web. Is there a cert manager in winmo6? Not even sure this is the problem. Had it working fine on the old Athena / Advantage.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if this can really help, but if you have a .cer file, then simply open it and winmo will install the certificate.
Also you can find installed certificates in Parameters > System > certificates

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://).

[Q] Exchange Sync Err

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
Re: Exchange Sync Err
Hi,
date n time are correct as per the place i live in
how do i check correct cert? and can u please let me know where to install it from?
yes i can access OWA using fone's 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.

[Q] Can not synce Exchange account after setting up Nand Rom on HD2

I have successfully installed an Android ROM to flash using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948 along with this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620.
Everything worked great. I did have to manually enter the APNs which are given in the FAQ to establish my 3G connection but that was not an issue.
I was able to sign in to my google account on the phone without an issue.
The problem I am having is when I try to create my exchange account. I enter all the data in including username, pw, server, domain, and check the box for SSL. It Verifies the account info and than comes to the page for the sync settings where you select what you want to sync. When I click Finish Setup it attempts to process for a minute than comes up with:
Error Failed to create the account. Please try again later.
My exchange server is up and running as I am still getting emails in Outlook and my Other Android phone and it was working on this phone before flashing the ROM.
Is there a problem with this ROM that does not allow for exchange sync or am I just missing something. I have been searching the forums but have not found anyone posting this issue. This is an exchange server 2010 as well. Thanks for the help.
-Joe
I'm using tytung's Nexus-HD2 Gingerbread V2.2 with Exchange Sync and it works!
With WLAN and 3G.
