Re: Exchange 2003 ActiveSync, Sprint PPC-6700 and SSL: Giving me an ul

Did you bring down the 'two' certs?

One is the name, the other is 'publishing..blahblahsomething'?

Ok, I know this retreads a few posts, but I couldn't find anything to solve my problem.

As with many others, I am having problems with the Sprint PPC-6700 utilizing Exchange ActiveSync over the Sprint Dialup connection on SBS 2003. Based on my research so far, it seems that the most likely offender is the way WM5 processes SSL certs. Whereas previous versions were a bit liberal in what they accepted, the current version apparently wants an exact SSL.

Based on some postings on a few other boards, I tried to copy the SSL certificate onto the PDA. It was easy to do, however, the SSL certificate reflects the internal site name. Well this is a problem as the phone needs to connect to it anywhere. When I sync with this cert, it tells me it needs a cert with the correct name... in this case the outside name.

So my question is, other than paying for an SSL cert, something I reject on principle in this situation, how can I use SSL when syncing with Active Sync in the manner described above. Is there another certificate I can use to copy onto the PPC-6700 that will do the trick? Can I create one using SelfSSL that will work?

PLEASE HELP!!! If you know a workaround, or which cert to use please let me know. Please be specific on the certs, as in where it is located in the Certificates MMC. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
