Re: Microsoft Direct Push / Active Sync - can't get it working

Hi Jeffery,

Yep, I'm pretty certain you're right, my Cert name needs to match the
address typed into IE, in other words the public ip address, not the
local server name. I'll check out dyndns.org and see what I can do
there. Thanks for your help...

Jason.

Hi Jason,

Great to hear that you got it all working on port 80! Sorry I'm not too
familiar with the way SSL certificates are created and installed, so I can't
be much help from here on out.

Sounds to me though that it is a problem that you are connecting to your
public IP address and the certificate common name is your local hostname. I
might try to use a free dynamic DNS service like dyndns.org to create a
public hostname "[yourname].dyndns.org" then create a new self-signed
certificate using that address. I don't know if that is actually possible,
but it might be worth a shot.
