SSL on PocketPC - info & links   Message List  
Reply Message #637 of 5544 |
Hi,

So, I know some people have had problems with SSL on PocketPC, I've
finally tracked down the root cause of the problem, which is a normal
pocketPC device doesn't support server certificates that use the SHA-1
Algorithm. Both Verisign and the W2K certificates services use SHA-1,
and this is responsible for the failures.

There's a high encryption pack for PocketPC which adds SHA-1 support,
and installing it has solved all the SSL failures i was seeing.
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/default.asp

And the document where i found the SHA-1 issue covered is
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/administration/2000/SQLServerCESecurity.do\
c

(see page 6)

And this KB article details how to install additional root CA certs

Cheers
Simon

That's next on the todo list. If you're desperate for the SSL over proxy support, i can send you a build of v1.2.3 with it in. Cheers Simon...
