Mobile synchronization with SSL, particularly for WM6 mobiles.

=====Synchronise using SSL=====
=====SSL Synchronization with Windows Mobile devices=====
Synchronisation over a securised connection is possible if you can add your site as a trusted one with corresponding certificate.
This is the case for Windows mobile 6 (WM6) devices. Problems should occurs on several WM5 devices, because of a bug that limits addition of certificates with that OS.
Here are the steps to add your server as a trusted platform on your WM6 mobile :
1. copy your server's certificates located in /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/ on a Windows XP/Vista computer
2. we need to transform those .crt certificates to .cer certificate ( same type of certificate but .crt are text-encoded ). To do so :
*in microsoft windows open a certificate by double clicking on it
*in "Detail" Tab pane choose "Copy to file"
*Choose Binary coded DER X.509 (.cer) format
*save resulting .cer certificates on local machine
4. transfer .cer certificates on your mobile using windows explorer
5. When done, on your WM6 mobile use file explorer to open those certificates. When opening one, the certificate is automatically added to trusted sites.
6. You can then change your Exchange server parameters to use SSL. It will be asked to reenter your password.
