I have SBS 2003 and Exchange 2003. We have just got some PDA's with Windows mobile 5. Unfortunately it will not let us import our self signed certificate so these cannot access the Exchange server.

I have tried various microsoft knowledgebase articles on how to do this and failed.

We are now looking at getting a proper certificate but I have been told that you need to get a specific type that is supported by Windows Mobile 5.

Can anyone reccommend a CA that is cheap as we are a not for profit organisation and money does not grow on trees.

THanks in advance.

Status: offline 		when I go to OWA on the PDA I only get a yes or no option for the certificate.

When I  copy the .cer file from the server I click on it and windows mobile  says "Cannot access certificate"

WHat registry files do I need to change on the PDA?

Status: offline 		Guys,

This is an interesting exchange and has proved usefull for me, i.e. self signed root certificate authorities and intemediate issuing certificate authorities can be imported into WM5.0 if they are in DER encoded binary [*.cer] format (i.e. NOT base64 encode [*.cer] or PKCS#7 encode ([*.p7b]).

So my question is has anyone come up with a WM5.0 native solution to import both the public key certificate and the private key? currently WM5.0 doesn't appear to recognise either p12 or pfx file formats for me.
