Exchange Sever Push Email Setup - Stuck at Password Prompt

[networkkilla]

Hi all,

I am new to the HTC (just got one this week :), and would love to get push email working from my Exchange 2003 server.

I have used the reg hack to stop WM5 from requiring a valid SLL cert, and installed my Exchange 2003 server's SSL certificate on my device.

However, when I try to connect, the device keeps prompting me for my password, and does not accept it when I enter it.

I have seen this on other forums, but never seen a solution to it. I would be very grateful for any advice.

Great site btw!

first of al .. you don`t need a reghack to get ssl working..
just look at this site.. for your server..
http://www.visualwin.com/SelfSSL/
follow these steps.. remember.. if your server is avalible under
https://blabla.com/exchange name your ssl certificate: blabla.com
After this go to https://blabla.com/exchange install the certificate in youre IE on your pc..
then in IE tools -- options --- content --certificates -- trusted..
find your certificate and export this on your desktop. now with active sync transport your certificate to your mobile and install it, just with clicking on it.

Now the problem that you have is the auth part on your IIS on microsoft-active-sync virtual directory..

On the default directory set plain , ntlm, and windows intergrated
auth options on..
on the microsoft-active-sync only the plain text and ntml.
If this wont work play around with auth settings on microsoft-active-sync virtual dir.. trial and error.. but somewhere there is your answer and youre problem.

IMPORTANT turn of : require secure channel (ssl) on your server
Windows mobile cannot work with that

Yeah SSL needs to be enabled and setup on the exchange server. Also check your user policys to make sure they are set up correctly. We set up exchange systems daily at work and the most common problem we see is someone has messed up their policys in exchange.

Thanks for the reply's :)

I have had another crack, but am now getting an error on Activesync when sync'ing:

Support Code: 0x85010014

I am not sure what this points to....


I am still a little confused with my IIS6 authentication settings.

My "Exchange" vdir is set to Integrated and Basic authentication.

My "Microsoft-Server-Activesync" app is set to basic only.

My "OMA" app is set to basic only.


The "Exchange" vdir is the only one set to require ssl connections.


Thanks again for your time.

Fixed it! Followed this guide from Microsoft that helps create an oma directory especially for use by Activesync without using SSL:
