Can anyone school me in how to force a certificate to install to the trusted root instead of the intermediate? I need to install one to work with our exchange server but it keeps going to intermediate and causing the sync to fail.
I know the cert is good because it is the same one i have used for multiple smartphones, but then one of the guys here went and got one of these PDA's, so now i have to re-learn how to do everything. I'm starting to get the hang of it (no offense, but these PDA's are so complicated, it sorta makes me appreciate the simpleness of my excalibur) but I am just stuck at this certificate thing.
I have tried installing the sp_allowcertificate.cab, since it seemed to not have a problem with it being a smartphone program, but it also didn't fix anything.
PLEASE if anyone can help at all it would be greatly appreciated.

All I do when I have to setup an Exchange sync with an SSL certificate is export the SSL certificate itself from your web-browser as a .cer or .crt file. Then copy it to your device and run it from there.

duh, i fixed it. i had this problem once before and i finally remembered what i had to done to get it to work. There is an old certificate and a new certificate and i had accidentally been using the old one, which is the same thing i was doing this time. :o
i'm currently deleting all the copies of the old certificate, LOL, thanks for your reply tho

Sorry to Hijack this thread, but I have the same problem. I did exactly what you said, and exported the certificate to the device. But it doesn't recognize it as being associated to a program. I tried crt, cer, der extensions with no luck.
