Recipe 8.17. Disabling Exchange ActiveSync Certificate CheckingProblemYou want to disable ActiveSync's certificate checking on a Windows Mobile device. SolutionUsing a command-line interface
DiscussionFor setup and troubleshooting purposes, it can be useful to temporarily disable your Windows Mobile device's verification of certificates against its list of trusted sources. This allows you to use untrusted certificates that you've created internally, or procured from sources other than the large commercial services, without individually adding the root certificate to the device. SSL encryption is still used for communications between the device and the Exchange server, but error messages will not be generated. Once you're finished testing and configuring your environment, you can either upgrade to a trusted commercial certificate or add the server's private root certificate to your Windows Mobile device.
