Could anyone please take a look at the attached syslog and see if they can decipher what's going on, it seems to get to the stage of building a folder structure and then falls over in a heap...

Thanks!

I have a new n900 but can't connect to my Exchange 2007 server. Please can you help me find why its not working.

I have checked the credentials I'm using are correct. Also they work on MfE for Nokia on my E71.

I pointed the N900's browser at the mail server address (FQDN mailhost2.sire.co.uk) and accepted the certificate. The certificate is self signed by our mailhost.

Also I have been to the website with my home PC and saved the certificate, as a PCKS#7 file named mailhost.p7b, then transferred it to the N900. Clicked on it in the Filemanager and tried to open it with various things including the Certificate Manager.

However, I don't see the Exchange server as an authority in the Certificates Manager.

I also checked that I have 236 items in /home/user/.activesync/certs/ as well as 236 in /etc/certs/common-ca/.

As the certificate is self signed I created a symbolic link from /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca to /etc/certs/common-ca/ see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6467#c17:-

The steps I took, are they right?
rmdir /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca
ln -s /etc/certs/common-ca /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca

Once I have entered all the credentials and ticked the Secure connection box, I get the message "Error. Either exchange server requires secure connection or account is disabled" almost instantly. Every time.

I've also tried turning it off and on again a few times

What have I missed?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, it starts to look funny around line 8504:

Maybe Vitaly can shed some light on this.

You're trying to sync to eumail, not to Google, correct?

Gadgety | # 674 | 2009-12-30, 08:51 | Report

Thanks for your reply. No I mean sync with Outlook where tasks can categorized. Will those categorizations also be synced, or will all the tasks be synced as one lump, without the categorization?

playa_wun | # 675 | 2009-12-30, 10:14 | Report

Correct - I've removed the mailserver name and credentials.

Can anyone help?

I did the work around as mentioned. But....

The ln statement gave me two time permision denied.
Do i need to do this as root?

ps for nokia: This is the second time that i bought a nokia product for connection with exchange that dit not work right out of the box. Last time it was a 5800 with mfe for fun and test.
Is nokia confusing ginypigs with customers?
This will probably the last nokia product i am going to buy. And i am not giving my recommendation to our company.(where i am the corporate mail client ginypig)



1. Just get your root certificate installed on the device so that it is seen in the certificate store (server sertificate!), lot of instructions to do that on this forum..
2. Go to xterm:
cd /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca/
3. see the directory contents:
ls -lh
; there should be a long file (something like x89x8x7087873234324.pem and then a short symlink to it 89737443.pem )
4. then just make the symlink:
cd /home/user/.activesync/certs/
ln -s /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca/* .

Great question, but I've no idea. I've been trying to follow the Google-related discussion, but Outlook is a separate ball of wax. Regardless, whoever is going to respond to you will probably want to know what version of Outlook you're using, and whether you mean stand-alone Outlook or Exchange (and if the latter, what version of Exchange).

I have sync with google calendar working - I set it up with a totally new calendar after reading of problems trying to sync with an already defined calendar.

I don't sync mail or contacts

I appreciate that. I just want to know if it is possible in any of the versions. My understanding is it's currently not possible to sync 2003 anyway. So, is it possible to sync the Categories of Tasks in either the stand-alone Outlook 2007 or in the Exchange version? Anyone tried this?

Update;

I still can't get MfE to work, but I'm now fairly sure its all down to the certificate handling. So I'll update below and look for a N900 certificates management thread.

Please note the above, I have the symbolic links wrong, the correct steps are (thanks Wimmert);

1. Just get your root certificate installed on the device so that it is seen in the certificate store (server sertificate!), lot of instructions to do that on this forum..
2. Go to xterm:
cd /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca/
3. see the directory contents:
ls -lh
; there should be a long file (something like x89x8x7087873234324.pem and then a short symlink to it 89737443.pem )
4. then just make the symlink:
cd /home/user/.activesync/certs/
ln -s /home/user/.maemosec-certs/ssl-ca/* .

However, the self-signed certificate I need won't install.

I have saved the site certificates via my PC's firefox, transferred them, but no matter what I try they won't install. File manager just shows me that it is a certificate, displays the details, and doesn't ask me to install it. I tried it with another certificate and it worked fine...
