Re: I-Mate KJAM

Thank you for such a detailed answer.

Before we proceed I would like to ask you if what we used constitutes a
reasonable self generated certificate.

When we run CEICW we use the domain name ofthe company:

companydomain.com.au
or
mail.companydomain.com.au

Is this what we should use?

Regards,

Guido

Where can I find some information on what to do at the Server end and

Your help is appreciated.

Basics -
You need E2003 SP2
Run the CEICW and make sure Outlook mobile access is enabled from the
internet
If you don't have a trusted third party SSL certificate installed in SBS (as
in, you created your own using the CEICW), you'll need to export it to a
file & then copy it to the device using ActiveSync (see below)
On the device, you'll configure it to connect to the Exchange server using
the same FQDN you use for OWA - and your login/pw.

Configure a Self-Signed Certificate
This section tells you how to export and install the self-signed certificate
that is created by Windows SBS onto a mobile device. For multiple mobile
devices, you need to install the certificate on each device. The certificate
is already installed on the server that is running Windows SBS, so you do
not need to configure the server.

Perform the following steps to install the certificate on a mobile device:

1.
Create a shared folder in which to store the certificate.

2.
Export the certificate to the shared folder so the mobile devices can
access it.

3.
Install the certificate on the Windows Mobile device.


To create a shared folder in which to store the certificate file
1.
On the server, open Windows Explorer.

2.
Select the root drive or folder in which you want to create the new
shared folder.

3.
Click File, point to New, and then click Folder.

4.
Rename the new folder to something you will remember (for example,
CertShare).

5.
Right-click the renamed folder, and then click Sharing and Security.

6.
Click the Sharing tab, select Share this folder, either type a name for
the shared folder or accept the default, and then click OK.


To export the certificate file to the shared folder so the mobile devices
can access it
1.
While you are still logged on to the server, open Internet Explorer.

2.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. The Internet
Options dialog box appears.

3.
Click the Content tab, and then click the Certificates button. The
Certificates dialog box appears.

4.
Click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab.

5.
Scroll through the list of certificates, and then select the
certificate that was generated by Windows SBS. You can usually identify the
certificate by recognizing the IP address or domain name in the Issued to or
Issued by fields.

6.
Click Export. The Certificate Export Wizard starts.

7.
On the Welcome page, click Next.

8.
On the Export File Format page, select DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER),
and then click Next.

9.
On the File to Export page, click Browse, and then open the shared
folder that you created in the previous procedure.

10.
Type a file name to identify the certificate that you are exporting,
and then click Save. The file path appears on the File to Export page of the
Certificate Export Wizard.

11.
Click Next.

12.
Review the settings for accuracy, and then click Finish.

13.
Click OK to acknowledge that you have successfully exported the
certificate.

14.
Click Close to close the Certificate dialog box.

15.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.


After you successfully export the certificate to the shared folder, complete
the following steps to install the certificate on a Windows Mobile device.

To install the certificate on a Windows Mobile device
1.
Cradle the mobile device to your client computer.

2.
On the client computer, open Windows Explorer, and then open the shared
folder that you created on the server.

3.
Copy the certificate file from the shared folder, and then paste it
into the Mobile Device node in Windows Explorer on the client computer. This
places the certificate in the My Documents folder on the Windows Mobile
device.

4.
On the Windows Mobile device, open File Explorer (for Pocket PCs) or
File Manager (for Smartphones).

To open File Explorer, click Start, and then click Programs. To open
File Manager, click Start, and then click More.

5.
Find the certificate file you just copied to the My Documents folder on
the device, and then run the file either by tapping the file name or by
selecting the file and pressing ENTER.

6.
Click Yes on the confirmation message box to install the certificate.
If you receive no error messages, the certificate is installed successfully.
