Guest Mr.Clark Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I've just got my shiny new XDA-Exec. Hurrah! Now I'm trying to connect to the work Exchange server. I've done this scores of times on WM2003 devices. Install the certificate, run "certchk.exe off" and then go. And it works. 10 times out of 10. With me Exec, things become a little more unclear. Certchk doesn't work. After long googling, I find this go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/ActiveSync/Partners/ 3. press \"Values\" key (then you see calendarfolderit, clientnegotiated,......) 4. press Menu, new value,dword insert values (value name=secure value data=0) Value name= secure Valu data = 0 This does something, since without this, I get an invalid certificate error. With this, I get prompted for my Exchange password. I give it, tick the "remember" box, and hit Done. Then it asks for the password again. And again. And again. Ad infinitum. What's up with this? Anyone seen anything like it before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.Clark Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 A bit of playing around has confirmed that it's not a user account setting, it's either an Exchange setting (I can't see one... mobile devices are enabled, and the 2003 devices work fine) or a WM05 setting. The actual error is "please correct your exchange server password", but I'm certain it's correct. I've checked with another user, and they get the same message with their username/password. Someone else must have had something similar :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I've been told that it *should* work when MSFP is released on Monday and to wait until then before tearing my hair out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.Clark Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) This Monday? What is MSFP? *getting a little hopeful* EDIT: MSFP - Messaging & Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0 Edited April 9, 2006 by Mr.Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 The release of the IQ has been put back to NEXT monday (the 17th) so I don't know if MSFP (Messaging and Security Feature Pack otherwise known as AKU2) will be released tomorrow as originally planned or if they will hold it back until next monday.

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Why do i remember seeing somewhere that certchk isnt used in WM5 any more...? *niggling feeling* Incedentally when i set up my jasjar with my exchange server i had a similar password problem, turned out i'd created the account, added a password, then later set up some password policies - which my account did not meet. Updated the password and all was well... As for installing the cert - i just exported it from my server and installed it on the jasjar, sorted...

Guest Mr.Clark Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 So they've released the Atom, but not the AKU2 update for the Exec? They're jsut as bad as Orange were with their C500 ROM updates ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr.Clark Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I've just upgraded to the new ROM and I'm getting the same error. Guess I'll have to stick SP2 on the Exchange server tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Confucious Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I had to get a free SSL cert and then install it on my exec and server. Or rather, a friend who knows what he's doing did it for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.Clark Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) I still haven't got this fixed. :D However, we now have 5 corporate M5000s, 4 M3100s and 4 C600s, all of which need to connect to the Exchange server. Is the free SSL certificate from somewhere like http://cert.startcom.org/ ? Edited September 12, 2006 by Mr.Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 You can generate one yourself IIRC as long as you are able to install it on the device and the server. Do you have an SSL cert on the Exchange server already? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.Clark Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Yes, we've generated our own, and they're installed on the devices. If I don't do the little reg hack at the beginning, it throws a message saying "The security certificate on the server is invalid" If you do the tweak, it repeatedly asks for the password, even through it's correct.

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 The reg tweak is turning SSL off isn't it, so if the server is set to require it, it'll b0rk? Sounds like the cert isn't installed on the device correctly? If it is, you shouldn't need to reg tweak I think? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.Clark Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 The reg tweak is turning SSL off isn't it,I don't think so, I think it's disabling checking the server's certificate (which is why it gets further than a "No" response Sounds like the cert isn't installed on the device correctly? If it is, you shouldn't need to reg tweak I think? P I only know one way of installing a certificate... you click on it and it installs. It's in the Root list.

Is the free SSL certificate from somewhere like http://cert.startcom.org/ ? Yup mine came from Startcom but the cert then had to be made into a cab to install on the phone. The other thing that caused problems was he had to manually create root certs for FreeSSL primary and Startcom intermediate on my server HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.Clark Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 That'll piss Orange off if we go that route... I just got them to generate signed cabs for the smartphones using our existing certificates. I don't get why we can't just use our certificate. I KNOW what the site is... it's ours! I don't care who doesn't trust it. We control the site, and the devices. ARG! *choking gestures* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr.Clark Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Actually, you're not far off. It turns out, as well as installing the certificate for the server, I also had to get a higher level certificate (Don't ask, I didn't know it was there) and take bits of that new one, turn it into a _setup.xml file and make it into a .cab file, then install it onto the PPCs. This has now enabled all of them to sync with our exchange server, even mine! The exceptions are the C600s, as I have to send the XML file off to Orange, so they can make it into a signed cab for the smartphones. Many thanks to all for your help! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr.Clark Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Can I ask a stupid question? Push email... is that where you set the schedule in ActiveSync to sync "as items arrive"? If so, that's great, all done, and working :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
