Hi,

I've created a Certificate which works fine from IE5 but will not work
on PocketIE on PPPC2002.

I installed the Rootcert.cer file successfully on the device using
AddRootCert.exe, however, I still get an error via PocketIE.

The error is "The security certificate for this site has either
expired or does not match the server name."

However, it does match the server name and is not due to expire until
2005. Ultimately I want to get SQLCE Replication working over SSL.

Anyone got any ideas ?
( All works OK once SSL is switched off)

Rgds,
Garrett.

Garrett,
Is your certificate using a normal Internet address or a NetBios name?

At present I am trying to get the app working on the intranet.

The server name is sqlserver. the fullname is sqlserver.abc.ie

I have setup the Certificate Authority as the fullname and issued the
certificate to the fullname.

The URL I then reference is;
https://sqlserver.abc.ie/sqlce/sscesa20.dll

I can navigate to this URL from a desktop once the certificate has been
installed yet the PocketIE brings up the error that the common name does
not match..
