I was also recieving the "Exchange server requires secure connection or account is disabled" error. I had exported the certificate chain of our private CAs and imported them to the device with no change, either over WiFi or GPRS.

After finding the following bug report, I fixed it after seeing that what Labra had suggested was the case. (comment 17)

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6467#c17

The user-imported certificates are being imported 'into /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca', and MfE only seems to look at certificates in '/home/user/.activesync/certs'. Copying the imported private CA cert files allowed me to sync.

edit: oops, saw that Labra posted this earlier in the thread. Good work

Vitaly, Yes it is exchange 2007. Here is the web based page of my exchange server:
https://mail.upmc.edu/owa/auth/logon...ote%26a%3dSend,

I believe it is SP1, but not absolutely sure. Again, why does it sync with E71 and E51 but not with Nokia N900?????

As a note, OWA and Exchange ActiveSync can use different certificates.

Most organizations would use a certificate from a publicly trusted CA so that clients can use OWA from any computer without certificate trust issues.

If a private or self-signed certificate is used for the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory on the Exchange server in IIS, the sync would fail due to the bug Labra identified.

Nice to hear that my trick did the job!

These parameters shall be removed from gconf. Use the commands like this:

gconftool-2 -u /apps/activesync/AsDaemon/Syslog/MinLogLevel

After device reboot the logs will not be collected.

Open terminal (xterm) and try to ping your server by name, Will it resolve the DNS name to IP address?

You can try to ping google.com at first to be sure that DNS works at least for google :-)

The proper tool to use is "dig" but I don't know where to get it for maemo externally.

Because the protocol stacks for N900 and E71/E51 are different.

Would be very good if you can share the logs...

The /home/user/.activesync/certs/ -directory does not have any symlinks to there. I manually symlinked the imported certificate from the .maemosec-certs/ssl-ca/ -directory to the activesync's directory, and it works!
Confirming the bug. Completely forgot that this crap is included into the sales box distribution. Sorry for not informing you, guys, here. Will include the link to this post in the very first post of this thread.

After sw. update, this bug will not happen anymore and no additional steps (symbolic linking) will be needed to import certificate.

non-prov devices are allowed, cert should be installed correctly, no autodiscover configured (isnt a req right?). happy to supply more info if needed
12.1 protocol (Exchange update is needed). Or wait for N900 MfE client update. I am really sorry about this bug.

The keywords to detect it:

MS-ASProtocolVersions: 1.0,2.0,2.1,2.5,12.0
AS-LIB: Created factory for version 2.5

After client update (w/o server update) you will see:

MS-ASProtocolVersions: 1.0,2.0,2.1,2.5,12.0
AS-LIB: Created factory for version 12.0

After Exchange update you will see:

MS-ASProtocolVersions: 1.0,2.0,2.1,2.5,12.0,12.1
AS-LIB: Created factory for version 12.1
