Certificates for ActiveSync Mike Ruiz 10-30-2006

Has anyone solved or submitted to MS a request to have Wildcard certs work on
PPC/WM for Active Sync? Or any cert where the URL doesn't match the CN of
the cert?

This seems silly to us here.

Hi,
Wildcard certs are not supported on Windows Mobile devices. There is no
workaround right now.

I am glad to have independent confirmation of this.

This strikes me a severe and arbitrary limitation. How do we get Microsoft
to respond and fix this. It also seems like it should be a relatively "easy"
fix.

Any OS update is a significant thing (and there are a number of OEMs to
consider, as they are actually the ones who would have to generate the right
OS for their particular device, a process over which Microsoft has no real
control). From the standpoint of requesting a change, probably complaining
to the device vendor is as good as any other method of starting things. I
would not expect a fix in the weeks to months time period, though.
