I already tried to use modified version from SGSII, but that did not work.
Any ideas how I can remove this policy issues when connectiong to an exchange server with the P6800?

What exactly are you trying to circumvent? If your IT department has restrictions about connecting with non-approved devices then you should probably respect that.

unfortunately there seems to be a bug as the policy is rather relaxed but on my device I get a short lock out time with a complex password. This is way to much as the device locks every minute / after every call...
Changing the policy on server (except no restriction) did not help. As its working with a Nexus it seems to be a bug in the Tab.

When I set up an exchange account the phone ask me to set a password. Now every time I turn on my phone it or wake it up it asks me to enter the password. How do I remove the password???
If you were forced to set a password when you set up exchange activesync then the password is enforced, you can't remove the need for a password as long as you sync to that server.
The IT policy is set by whoever administers the server for all connected devices, most companies would use that setting for example to protect their data.
Who is hosting your exchange? Is it a work account?
It's 1&1. I really wish i knew that before i bought. Everytime I wake up the phone I have to put in a darn code. Is there any way around this? Very annoying.
Only way around it is to remove the exchange connection.
It's a server-wide policy - to cope for some users needing passwords, maybe even their own staff it will have been set up.
I'd stick with it personally, the device is more secure when lost with it enabled... I carry a wizard and Blackberry - both need password entry but I'm used to it
This week end I tried to sync my oulook mailbox and it asked me to accept new security policy.
It was in fact my company that upgraded to latest Outlook mail server with push functionality.
I was very happy and push is working fine.
But now I also have this annoying Pin code to enter every hour.
Also even when I entered the code and I am free to use my phone during one hour, I noticed that each time I turn it on I have a blank screen for 1 seconde before it loads the today page slowly.
This password feature is not nice at all and I really want to get rid of it.
I am pretty sure we will be able to find some regkey to unlock this stupid security policy like in HKLM\security\Policies\Policies.
It has to be a user choice in the end.
Do you know if I stop syncing with my server if i can remove it?
no, as I've said twice already, if you're using exchange activesync then this policy is enforced.
It's not user choice, if you're syncing your device with your employers equpment it's their data, they're legally entitled to protect it. If you're syncing with a third party server then the device will do as its told... the server is considered authorative - the same is true of Blackberry.
If you can find a way to alter the policy the checksum of your settings will differ to that stored on exchange, when the device next syncs it will see the change in policy and enforce the correct settings, turning the security back on.
Seriously guys, if you want exchange activesync then live with the policy , if you don't then disable the server connection.
remove the activesync service then yes you should be able to edit again to disable.
of course the thing mentioned above is not a solution...
i'm hal-way there and spoke with the rom makers to find a complete solution...this one is just temparary...

I have been using a registry hack everyday to prevent my WM5 device from locking itself every 30 minutes. At around 7:00pm the company I work for forces a policy to my device using push email. At that time I open a registry editor and modify \hklm\security\policies\policies\00001023 from 0 to 1. That prevents the unit from asking for a password for 24 hours.

I've decided I'm not going to be able to help on this one. It's your company's choice to enforce that security policy and not mine to help you get around it. I'm not being rude, I'm just not able to put time into research to do that at this moment.
Good luck.
I have a quite unusual problem/bug!
I have tried and could not believe it at first, it is happening with severeal flashes.
I have tryed with adewidt, Kaiser, Pdaviet, bepe and others.
I connect to my email account by Exchange server, my server enforces the use of password on device, until here all is fine.
After some days of use, without any reason when turning phone on it does not accept password anymore!!
I mean the password we enter as we reboot the phone!
It always happens for example when we set for the owner info to appear after booting, password will not work anymore... it just changes to unknown passowrd forcing me to do a fresh install of the ROM losing all settings!
But even without this procedure it happens on just normal use after some days.
I am desperate as it's not fun to flash new ROM every three days, although my contacts and mails are stored on exchange server I have to configure verything again.
Any help?!?
Tks
I presume you are using WM6. It is a common known and reported problem with people having their PIN changed to an unknown pin number and locking them out. Most people ignore this problem by not using the pin at all. As yours may have been applied a policy from the exchange server, you have to use the pin on yours.
There isn't much news on this bug fix yet (I think). only solution is to use WM5 or official WM6 (if there is for your phone).

Thanks for the reply.
Is there any thread or other information where I could follow this problematic and therefore be ready when a solution comes out?
Or is there any workaround on this exchange server policy?
Regards
hmm.. I'm not following the case, but you should look around, it hovers around new ROM (i.e. try to see the thread on the ROM you are using). Or.. possibly wait for someone to reply here.
Unless you are the exchange server admin, I dont think so. There are register hack where you can hack it to your liking before the next sync though. Try a search.
I currently use my work exchange server to hold all my emails and contacts...but my sever requires that i have a password on my mogul.
Just wondering if anybody knows how to get around this and disable it? I hate having to type in a password every 15 minutes whenever i want to look at my phone...such a pain! I would much rather just have it whenever the phone starts...or maybe even like every 2 hours or so...not 15 minutes!!
Please helppppp!!!!
Thanks!
I'm attached to a Zimbra server for email/contacts. I just checked it's user options and did not see an option for that.
I do speculate that it's an option on the Exchange though. It's been a few years since I managed one. You'd probably be in good shape checking with your admin about this...
what I do

I have my password saved under the phones activesync settings.
He's talking about the hardware security policies pushed to the handset by Exchange Server.
Yes - there are ways to disable and alter the effective policies on your handsets. However, they are in place because you are accessing your company server and any sensitive information on your phone should be protected from loss. (for this reason, I always strongly dissuede people from using personal handsets for company/government/official business) As a piece of IT/Communications gear, those phones are subject to the same security requirements enforced across the entire organization.
If you must be the weak link in your company's security, you can find hints to open a vulnerability here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43428
actually this is a question to all Gingerbread rom developers.
while using froyo i was able to use corporate exchange email and calendar without any security limitations, but after i tried almost all Gingerbread roms everyone force me to set phone unlock password and threatening me to provide to the server admins ability to wipe my phone remotely....how i can bypass that??just to have a same exchange features without that security staff??

If you revert back to FROYO does it not require PIN security? Is there any chance that you company now requires this?
I have Both G2 on CM 6.1.1 and HD2 on Gingerbread. However, my company does require PIN security. Now what bugs me is my Droid X did require a PIN every time I put the phone into "Sleep" Mode.
this is something that your companies Exchange Server admins have enforced. I know mine is that way.
i got back to the froyo and it DOES NOT required me to set any pin or password,it just works as before.
is there any way to port email application from froyo to gingerbread??
There is an excellent app on the Market which I have used for this purpose as my company block access from my phone. This bypasses, and even though I only have owa it acts as though I have active sync.
I have not posted the name as whilst it is free on trial for 30 days , it is then a paid app ( and it's not cheap!)
Pm me if you want more information
i know what u r talking abt, but i'd like not to share any passwords with 3rd part app.
i rolled back to froyo
i payed attention that corporate blackberry does not require any passwords, just simply unlocking the keyboard.

Blackberrys (*spit*) are different, they rely on a BES server which interfaces between the phones and the exchange server.
They can be be set to require a password, and can be set so that if you get the password wrong enough times it wipes the device.
Hi,
I configured our exchange server for corporate push mail on my Galaxy Note with March 2012 firmware. There's "optional encryption" requirement in the policy, where Exchange server ask for encryption if the device supports it.
Since Galaxy Note supports encryption, it enabled the encryption and asked me for a password.
Now, each time the screen locks, I have to enter a complicated password (consisting of characters, digits & a special character!) to unlock it! The phone became very unusable!
I understood from the post of "Eviip" in the page below that this is actually a requirement from Samsung side when you enable encryption, since my Exchange policy definitely does not require this. All other colleagues with Androids that can't do encryption or using iPhone's can just type a 4-digit pin code and use their phones.

Is there anything I can do for this, except buying a 3rd party mail application?
Weird, because as far add I understand it GB doesn't support device encryption, only ICS does...
What ROM are you running?
Also, did the exchange policy configure the encryption or did you do it? Because as I understand it the exchange policies don't demand device encryption, just mail stream encryption (but I'll look into that further) and that is pretty innocuous stuff...

I see the same behaviour (gNote running 2.3.6 XXLA6; ActiveSync / Exchange Server 2007 SP2). With ActiveSync policy pushed through to device, I have to use strong password to unlock, even though the policy only calls for 4-digit PIN.
I'm using TouchDown mail client as a workaround (at least for the next 30 days) but hoping the ICS update due out "soon" will fix the "problem".
Is there any feedback avenue to Samsung regarding this "feature"?

touchdown is no option for me, because it supports 2 different exchange accounts at a time only with "profiles", which is unusable for me!
regarding your problem: i know for sure that there were some hacks for this (a modified apk which doesn't incorporate the lock requirements. the downside is: with every rom upgrade you would have to redo this hack, as the mentioned apk may change in the system itself to a newer version...
Yeah, same to me
I 've update to 4.0.3 ICS but now I want to no use password or PIN for unlock screen mean that can I not use my exchange policy? (cause my GN haven't any privacy data to secure
so can you show for me? thanks!
I finally gave up with this and used the patch that I found in the forums (for rooted phones). It works pretty well!
