Hi,
Microsoft does not support wildcard digital certificates on Windows Mobile
devices. You can only use standard certs for a specific host.
Not supported in this case means IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. The solution is
to change the cert on the server to a host specific cert and then it can be
installed on the device if it is locally issued.
