Dear All

I need to connect my htc tyn to my work wifi configuration. The problem is the wifi is based on a root certificate permission. Obviously i have the certiface but with wm5 i can't configure the wifi with the root certificate. I try to use odyssey client for windows mobile but it allow me to use only personal certificate. Can someone help me

Thanks for your great support:confused:

It's a bit of a convoluted process, but you can install a root certificate on a WM device - only problem is, you have to use a CAB file.

There is an article on one of the MSDN blogs that you can use (I've used it myself about 12 months ago and I still have the CAB on my SD card!). Have a look at >THIS PAGE< (http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/01/28/making-a-root-cert-cab-file.aspx) to find out how to do it! By the way, the "makecab" program is part of Windows XP, so you don't need to go downloading SDK's etc. :)

Have a go, hope this helps!

Mark.

I have loaded my certs by exporting them on WinXp to .CER files, copying them to my Jasjam and then opening them in file manager.

You should be prompted to install the cert.

Worked for me.

Dear all

The problem is not to import the "root" certificate to wm5, but how to use it with the wifi (weap) structure.
