Win Mobile and SSL self-signed Certificates

Postby sego » Tue Jun 30, 2009 4:37 am

For all of you getting headaches with ActiveSync and Windows Mobile using self-signed Certs...(Unterstützungscode 0x80072f0d) I get it to work with some usefull information from zarafa z-push manual
http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/release/docs/z-push_installation_manual.en.pdf
Configure PDA for SSL
In Windows Mobile-based PDA's you also need to add the CA Certificate to the Trusted Root
Certificates store if you don't have a certificate of one of the Certified Authorities describe in the first
chapter.
The certificates should be in DER format to install it on the PDA. By default the generated SSL
certificates on Linux are in PEM format. The DER certificate is a base64 encoded PEM certificate.
You can convert the certificate type by the following commands:

Code: Select all

openssl x509 -in ca.crt -inform PEM -out ca.cer -outform DER
openssl x509 -in host.crt -inform PEM -out host.cer -outform DER

After converting both certificates you need to copy them to the PDA.
By selecting the certificates on your PDA they will be stored in the Trusted Root Certificates store of
your PDA.


In my case only the second (host.crt) key was required to get it work.
Some other useful things:

Hope this helps!
