[Q] Certificate error for Exchange Server - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
is there a way to sync email to an exchange server without a certificate?? i notice my buddies using iphones and androids can easily sync their phones without using any cert but for winmo requires them.
if any body can help me disable the cert check that'll be a great help.
thanks

Try this cab, I know it works on apps bur I am not sure about Exchange.

Hi Man,
I had this problem before, and the only solution (besides a hard reset) is to ask your it people to give you a copy of the exchage server certificate so you can install it manually (just copy in the phone and click it).

If the problem is conecting to work wi-fi (because of the certificate issue), check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-284534.html

configuring Outlook for OWA

Hi All,
I apologize for posting here for a simple thing. I hv HTC Touch Diamond. I want to configure Outlook for my email, calendar etc with my corporate exchange server. Assuming I dont want to synchronize through activesync on my PC. Because from a PC I want to check mails using OWA. If I am not at my desk I want to receive emails on to my mobile.
I have tried all various ways of configuring it. One search has asked me to enable OMA(Outlook Mobile Access) on my corporate exchange server which is not in my hands.
Using GPRS is there a way I can receive corporate emails on to my HTC Diamond ?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you might wanna use this app: Mobipush
http://www.mobipush.com
It's like a push mail server which will forward any mail to your Diamond...it's free of charge...just give it a try...I'm using it and I love it...
Good luck

No Luck. It errors out saying it cannot get IMAP server details.

Ahh..I see....well than for now I cant offer you a solution.... sorry...
Keep us posted about your progress allright?
Thanks mate!
Jeroen
b.t.w. if you gonna use the app, type in your server details manually...than (for me) it should work
Thanks Jeroen. I will post any progress I make. Btw isnt it frustrating ? I have WM and outlook in installed , internet is available on mobile and my company uses Exchange Server still I cant receive emails on my mobile.
hmm.. I am sure there will be other people who are interested in or already using by some way.
Thanks again Jeroen.

Although your company uses exchange they need to configure OMA on their servers. Although you say they have OWA that doesnt mean it will work on your mobile. they also need to have a specific version/service pack level on their exchange server.
The fact they use blackberrys suggests they havnt configured the OMA part that you need. If they did then your company will be the only ones who can help you as they will need to supply you with the OMA server address (usually different to your OWA one) and in many cases a certificate to use.
There really is nothing we can do, its all down to your companys IT department.
This is what you have to do:
Go to your Systems Administrator and ask him whether it's possible to receive email on your diamond. Minimal requirements are:
1. Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with SP2 installed
2. OWA and Mobile access enabled for your user account on your corportate network.
3. The root certificate of your Certificate Authority. This can be a third party certificate like Verisign or one from your own CA within your corporate network.
4. OWA certificate. This is probably the same ssl certificate you use when you try to access your corporate email from the internet like https://webmail.corporate.com
You have to import both the root certificate as well as the webmail certificate on your diamond and configure the settings.
I have configured this many times for my users with both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 and works great.
Good luck and don't hesitate if you need more info.
The others are right in saying that OWA needs to be configured and available. The other snafu is if there is a cert or not... for example, my company does not use a cerrt and had a re-direct... so the real URL is:
http://mail.mycompany.com/exchange
but they publish the URL as
http://mail.mycomany.com
which has a redirect page to the above URL. You need to make sure you have the full URL: http://mail.mycompany.com/exchange when you configure mail and *IF* they have a cert or not... by default I beleive WM6 assumes a cert.
Thanks all for the suggestions. I have asked my company to enable OMA and configure it. But since we are a blackberry shop they said that they cant do it. Mean while I saw BBConnect for Diamond. Can I use this on Diamond to receive emails. Is there anything extra I need to do to work with BBConnect apart from Internet availability on Diamond ?

MY Exchange issue with all ROM's

I have been having with all the ROM's (and I have tried haykuro, JF, Rogers cyano, ramjet, virtudude etc. with the same error message 'cannot create the account, please try again later.'
Now, Moxier, RoadSync Beta and Touchdown all work just fine with the same inputs (SSL, exchange server name, user, passwd, domain etc.) I am giving the HTC mail app.
I Think the problem is ISA. My company uses ISA security.
All the 3rd party apps (Moxier, TD etc.) all support ISA, but I don't think the HTC mail app supports it.
Reason for this post is two-fold:
-I know there were/are others who are in the same boat, thought I'd at least pass this along
-Question is, the new Mytouch 3G announced clearly mentions Exchange support, so I am wondering how that can be since I have tried all variations/ROM's based on cupcake here already with no avail.
The only thing I haven't tried is the stock cupcake update which i don' think has Exchange? So does the MyTouch have a customized ROM or would ISA probably not work on MyTouch as well?
I am guessing the later?
KG
I think i know what is the issue, the account you are trying to create is Secured, and HTC mail client is not secured, and you will have the same issue with MyTouch 3G ,i tried it myself and i've got the same error (

username issue
Hi,
Have a look at this Thread
There are some issues with the exchange client, it could also be your server setup, check out Brian's comments in the thread.
That might help.
Cheers,
Jon
Make certain you are on Exchange 2007, 03 has way too many issues w/mobile devices, 07 has many designs based around mobile.
About the Exchange thing:
I imagine they're using advertising speak to say that you can get your Exchang email - which is possible over IMAP (depending on your Exchange server settings, obviously).
From what I understand, Google won't allow the "with Google" tag on phones that include ActiveSync.
The MyTouch3G most definitely is "with Google". So it's probably the IMAP thing.
I think it is the ISA issue. I also have the same problem with the stock HTC activesync exchange software. ISA option is the only difference I notice between the stock HTC activesync and the 3rd party apps (touchdown, moxier, etc)

huh? this is not my decision to make. My company uses 2003, that's that. Dunno if/when they will upgrade to 2007, point was that 2003 works fine with Moxier, TD and Roadsync, that is all the other 3rd party apps work, only the HTC app doesn't work.
exchange contacts sync
Here is my issue with exchange. it sync all my contacts. after about a day, it comes back with 'client server conversion error' only way to fix it is to delete the account and start over. Any ideas on this one?

linked directly from this very link you posted:
http://www.informationweek.com/news/internet/google/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=218100660
where i work we use Zimbra which has an "exchange" server. It utterly fails on any HTC exchange support
touchdown works perfectly, iphone exchange works perfectly. Pre exchange works perfectly.
Right now this is the single biggest "fail" with android.
So anybody know if the Exchange s/w that comes with cupcake will do better than HTC's s/w? (i.e. will/does it have ISA access)?
It's too much work to try it out, would have to downgrade down to RC29->RC30->cupcake. And i would lose root?
I guess it would be too much to ask if someone on this board would be:
-running cupcake (stock)
-have an ISA exchange account to test with
*sigh*, this is literally the ONLY thing I hate about Android.

there is zero support for exchange most official builds. the builds that do have it, use HTC's poor implementation.

Here are some of my observations.
-JAC Hero - my HTC exchange works fine. Just can't seem to include original email in replies. I can't cut/paste either. No HTML.
**is this the same in Rogers builds?
-Dudes Rogers - wouldn't create account similar to you issue. Went back to hero.
JAC Hero - I reinstalled, but did not set up email durin begining phone setup. Later when configuring it would connect, show my folders, then fail to create account. I did a logcat and it is trying to delte an account that does not exist.
JAC Hero - reflashed and setup during phone setup and it works fine.
***anybody know the difference for HTC mail between Rogers and Hero??
I'd like to give Rogers a more solid try but need exchange.

I got the same issues that you have with contacts i have tried the ravenge rom, The dudes rom and they i end up with the same error client server conversation error, sometimes i get "error occurred on the computer running the exchange server" and the only way to get rid of it if to delete the account and try again i have 586 contacts... My colleague has a G1 and running any of the above mentioned Rom's he gets no errors he has 150 contacts.
It could be that its toooo many contacts for the sync to handle, i have created a new Exchange account imported my 586 contacts and i will let you know how it goes in a day.
I cant live without exchange!!!! and i don't fancy buying touchdown (even though it works really well)
help solving this issue will be higly appreciated

Then go get a Windows Mobile phone people are trying to help you, no need to be so impatient. Who can you really blame if it is a compatibility issue between Exchange 2003 and the app? HTC or your company for not keeping things up to date?
Also, I wouldn't say this thread belongs in Android development.

Froyo - Exchange 2007

When updating to Froyo, activesync no longer works to Exchange 2007. Anyone experience this?
I have flashed back to stock, it works fine. Then update to Froyo, it gives message about adding the calendar, but then mail just won't sync. Says unable to connect. Also, deleting the account then readding it does not work.
Anyone run into this issue?
I am the Exchange administrator, and all other devices work, older android, windows phones, iPhones, iPads. That's not to say it's not something on the server end, just that it has to be something to do with Froyo.
have you done an adb logcat when trying to setup exchange?
I have not. Not familiar with that, but will give it a try.
I did just find out my problem though. So I will leave it up here for any other that may run into it.
In IIS 7 manager, I had to go to the SSL settings for "Microsoft-Active-Sync" and set Client Certificates to "Ignore". Then run iisreset. Very odd.
I've never heard of that being an issue before...I do hate iis7... :-(
It seems easier unless you're looking for something specific and it isn't in the same place. Very frustrating.
I will say that I didn't have any issues adding my nexus to my client's exchange system. They have a vast array of mobile devices connected to it, so if anybody would have a messed up system, it would be me! lol

[Q] Q: Exchange server

Hi guys,
Shoot me if this particular issue has shown up somewhere... (couldnt find it)
I am having problems connecting to the exchange server at work. My company has a very high security standard.
They have you digitally agree to usage conditions, and then have to activate you somewhere on a firewall...
They are using WOSH (whatever that is) ?
Now officially they said it would be only for rotten Apple phones. However i was told in confidence by enterprise application support it would work on any phone having exchange capabilties.
I have tried several programs: k9, touchdown, and now that standard android one.
In the guide to set it up for apple the information to enter is almost the same:
I now try with settings/accounts/add acount
email adress:
[email protected]
password:
Abcd1234
Next it fails and continues with:
domain/username
servercorp/firstletterlastname (1st letter of your first name + 7 of your last name)
password:
Abcd1234
Server:
wosh.server.com
Then there are options for using SSL
Use secured SSL connection
Accept all SSL certificates
here it mentions some ID: androidc2398921038
Client Certificate
This is how far I get, the guide continues with having to set a PIN after succesfull connection.... ?
I tried many permentations, in all cases I get "could not connect to server", i checked the server (wosh.server.com) it does resolve but does not allow ping.
Particulars / questions:
In the guide from work it does not mention SSL settings (and I tried with and without). In the guide there is a seperate field for Domain. The domain/username field shows up like that but in the prefilled example it show the slash backward instead of forward (\ vs /) I tried both to no avail.
Is there something specific to how apple phones identify themselves ? Can I mimmick that ? Could it be that kind off ID ?
Since they are so security sensitive could it be i need a client certifcate (it is not mentioned in the guide) ?
Are there any tests (telnet ?) i can do to find out the correct settings/changes ?
It is alot, I know, hope someone has an idea ?

So which client are you using now? This one?
If so format under Manual setup is:
domain\loginid
account pw
server.domain.ext
Use SSL
Accept All SSL
The ASOP client linked above supports (and ignores) most Exchange Policies.
If that doesn't work it's server related, it may pay to check in one of these threads but I don't know if they'll help with server issues:

you post some code aswell, do i need to use that to install the email.apk ? i just copied to sd and installed from there...
For starters I would like the policies implemented, scary i know, but at least I will adhere to company policies
Is there a way to check the device ID ? seems like different apps send different device IDs

Yes, it needs to run from /system/app/ so you'll need to follow the instructions on that page or use Root Explorer to drop it in there.
If you want one with Exchange Policies implemented you'll need to get a stock Froyo one from a custom rom somewhere (my Nexus ROM has it, see sig but make sure you get the CM6/Froyo version).
Not sure about device ID.
well I put the app on system app, using the sdk, seems fine only still not possible to use the exchange server....

Has anyone managed to get Excange Server to work?
I get it to work the first ½ hour (mail appears quickly, but calender and contacts takes quite some time to load).
Now the issues:
- After about ½ hour it cannot sync anymore unless removing and reinstalling Exchange Server. What is the trick?
- I do not get to understand why all my contacts disapear if I remove Exchange Server. Any way to have them saved?
- I cannot edit my appointments, only add alarms. Perhaps another calender program?
- Can the different calenders (google, outlook and LG PC sync) be merged
Phone just hard reset and only Exchange Server activated. Without the Exchange Server I do not want to keep the phone. At the same time it works fine on my Wildfire (from where I comy the settings) and on my Touch Diamond.

Unable to add an exchange email account, with a self certificated certificate. (SSL).

I recieved my new Nokia Lumina 920. I was some what disgruttled to find that i was unable to add, my companies email account using a self signed certificate. On my Android mobile using the same certificate, everything is added and works perfect.
What is so diffierent using Windows phone 8, using self signed certificate. And if there is a fix, can you let me know how to install it correctly.
The following error message appears when sync takes place
"There is a problem with the certificate for (domain name) contact your support person or your service provider. Last tried 5 minutes error code 80048888"
Exchange version : Exchange 2010
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I know this will not help but, I did this myself to setup an Exchange 2003 server with a Self signed cert, I had no problem installing it (downloaded it via a hotmail account and just touched it to open it/install it)
I have done this on 7.5 and 8.0 with no problems at all. A problem with your cert ? Is it expired ?
Make sure you reboot your phone after you install the Cert, I had that issue with 7.5, it would not see it till a reboot...

Hi David
Thanks for coming back to me, I have tried what you have suggested however I'm still not getting my exchange 2010 to sync with my Nokia 920. Just wondering, your CERT was it a paid version or was it a self cert. Mine is a self cert does that make a difference. Please help me.
Thanks in advance..

Your phone should honor the Exchange CAS Server's certificate if you install the certificate of the CA which issued the certificate for the server.
And keep in mind that the principle name in the certificate should match the DNS name that your are using to connect to the server.
You will have to install the public key certificate of the CA issuing your self signed certificate. The certificate itself won't be enough as it can't be verified as when the phone checks up the path of trust it won't recognize the signing certificate. Hope that makes sense?

Hi Guys, you have solved my problems. Excellent support keep it up. I eventually exported the public key and installed it directly into the phone now my Nokia 920 works beautifly. One more question, I did get an error 85030028 and googling this said to go into IIs, click on active sync, then select SSL and tick ignore client certs... is that the correct way to active sync.. well the main thing is the phone is syncing as normal.
Thanks again
John

Hi David
Thanks for coming back to me, I have tried what you have suggested however I'm still not getting my exchange 2010 to sync with my Nokia 920. Just wondering, your CERT was it a paid version or was it a self cert. Mine is a self cert does that make a difference. Please help me.
Thanks in advance..
John

Mine was a self-signed cert, Not paid. One of the free tools from Microsoft or a 3d party... This is from my own personal exchange server.
Glad to see you got it working...

Haven't dealt with this myself but I guess it is possible that the phone tried to authenticate using one of the certificates you installed previously instead of using the credentials you provided but it's really just a guess. As long as SSL is still enabled the encryption should work and I see no issues with the setup.
If the setting causes ActiveSync to sync over HTTP instead of HTTPS that would be a concern so I would check if that is the case.
