Outlook Exchange Certificate

[Mickeyasr]

I'm planning to test drive a few custom ROMs tonight and I just backed-up my TP via PIM Backup.

Last week, my company's IT manager installed an Outlook Exchange Certificate on my TP for my company mail account. How can I verify that PIM stored this info correctly so I can restore it after flashing a new ROM? Or, is there a specific file or folder on the device that I should save to my PC for safekeeping and then re-load after the new ROM is up and running?

I've done custom ROMs many times before with my old Mogul, but this will be the first time that I've flashed my phone with company certificates installed.

Does anyone have experience with this situation? Thanks!

I am not sure if it will back up the cert or not. Saying that I would make sure your IT is around after you flash.

I back up my phone all the time, once you're on the exchanger server you're there for good, unless someone takes you out of it course. You can test a new rom and all you need to do is re-enter your server name, username and password on your activesync and all your work material will start to download again. Hope this helped

Wrong it sounds like his exchange server is running a self signed cert which he will need to reinstall on every rom flash. I am not sure where it is but there is a reg key he can export and reimport that will save his cert from his phone

OK, a little extra detective work and I found it. I'm posting this in case someone has the same question that I had.

Go to Start-->Settings-->System Tab-->Certificates

I have 1 cert under the Intermediate tab and another cert under the Root tab.

Sorry to bring up an old forum this was just the closest thing to what I needed without starting a new forum. Hopefully this works. I just upgraded to a touch pro from a mogul. I have a certificate for my college exchange server that allows me to do a lot on the schools network. The most important being the exchange server.

It won't connect me to anything, not even on wifi. On my mogul the cert went right into the personal area as you are describing here. But when I install it on this phone it goes into the root tab. It just doesn't feel right. Is there a way to either A move it, or B create a certificat manually in one of those locations that will work?

Thanks

If your IT department installed these certificates they will show up under intermediate. I also work in a company where I need the certificates to sync my mail. If you're planning to move from from one ROM to another ther is no way to back up the certificates. Once they are installed you can't retrieve them. The Root certificates are those that come with the phone and every time you flash they will be there. What I did was when I went to IT dept. I told them to just leave them in my storage card this way when I flash to a new ROM all I do is just install from the memory card and is done no need to copy or paste no where and the certificate will always stay on the memory card unless you manually deleted.

I hope this helps.

This isn't the case for every network, nor every exchange server. My company doesn't require certificates on the mobile devices themselves; it's all done via AD credentials and handled on server side. Since he had to install a client certificate, this doesn't apply to him.

Yep. Export those to your SD card or have your IT folks give you the original root CA cert - either way, you will have to import them after every flash.
If you're using UC, you can reimport them with a statement like this in your config.txt:

EXEC: \setup\rootCA.cer

My company also requires a cert for exchange. I saved it in the root directory of the SD card. After a flash click on the cert and reinstall.
