MS Exchange problem on Droid
 

Hi All,
My Droid phone is in the mail and I am wondering if I already need to return it. read on....

My work requires security certificates for our exchange server. On my mogul WM phone I have three security certificates installed and I can open attachments I get through my exchange server.

A buddy of my here at work has the DROID already and is reporting that since the WM security certs dont install on the DROID, the attachments on the email he gets from the exchange sever wont open. He can still sync, read and reply to emails but the lack of these certs are making the email attachments unopenable. The only work around we have found is sending the email to our personal gmail accounts and opening the attachments there.

What can be done to solve this issue or are we just doing it wrong....square block round hole.

setup the account again and open the security drop down there
you have the option to select SSL (accept all certificates)

Re: MS Exchange problem on Droid
 

Should we email the certs to ourselves and save to phone? Then do the above actions?

Re: MS Exchange problem on Droid
 

This doesn't work. We tried it twice. On two droids.

Any other advice or do I have to return the droid?

Re: MS Exchange problem on Droid
 

You can try an app called TouchDown. I know it is another app but I am hearing good things about it when people are having issues with exchange.

Will this fix the security issues? I have to have the three certs or i have to return the phone. My emails cant be open to the world.

From what I have read so far it will. If you still have issues you can get a refund if you return before 24 hours is up.

Here is a link for a beta of TouchDown that is specific for Android 2.0 and the Droid.

Touchdown looks like it will work from what i read too. Ill post my results tomorrow when i get my phone. I forwarded the links to my boss to see if it satisfies his security issues.

The Droid is a no go. My boss says he isnt willing to trust untested third part apps(Touchdown) connected to our exchange server. I am returning the Droid monday. Android needs exchange support with SSL .cer certs in the native OS before I can consider an android phone.

I had the same issue, recreating the account and UNCHECKING the "accept all SSL certs" fixed this for me. It also seemed to help alot of people at the google forums:

Give it a shot. Can't hurt anything.
