Re: Disable Cert Check under WM5

Haha! Just missed the previous post by Carl Wolz ... Looks like that's it!
Only thing is that I had to add "Secure" to the GUID!!! Looks like I'm
getting to the server now, just keep getting prompted for my
username/password. Weird.


Sorry, I didn't see this. I just posted how to do this.

Recap.
FYI: Certchk.exe won't work on WindowsMobile 5.0. The layout of the registry
has changed. In the devices registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{GUID}] set
"Secure" to 0. There may be more than one GUID under partners, so look at
the "Server" to see where it is syncing.

This only bypasses the validation of the certificate on the device. You will
still need a cert if you are syncing SSL
