Re: Connect Pocket PC to desktop without ActiveSync?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

1. Certificate mechanism? There's nothing built into ActiveSync to validate
a certificate. I'm saying that you'd open a socket on the PC and only
validate a connection if the certificate that the client connecting to it,
in this case over ActiveSync, was trusted. It's a very manual scheme where
you have to do everything.

2. I don't understand. You're trying to allow a trustworthy device to
connect, right? So, only give the key to the trustworthy guy! If you just
want to prevent anyone from ever connecting, lock the computer up and don't
install ActiveSync on it!

3. You can't restrict the connection in that way with anything that is built
in. You could configure a firewall on the PC, maybe, and only allow TCP
traffic to certain ports through.

1) Is there a built in certificate mechanism or do you refer to this MS
Exchange-related
tool?(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=82510e18-7965-4883-a8c3-f73f1f4733ac&DisplayLang=en)

2) The PDA / it's user is not trustworthy ...

3) .. but the fact that out client application is running on the PDA
would be good enough, as long as all network traffic is guaranteed to
be handled by our application level protocol.

So I'm still not shure if it's possible to restrict communication over
ActiveSync to a single application.
