Yes, in fact I even tried including the GoDaddy root and intemediate certificates in the profile I created with the iPhone Configuration Utility. Having said that, I think I finally have a solution! I now have "Require secure channel (SSL)" checked without breaking activesync! Instructions are here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817379 Chris. @Andy

Are you using the Godaddy certificate on Exchange, OWA, and the Iphone? Also, if you setup a profile with SSL enabled using the config utility, you cannot manually change the SSL setting on the Iphone. I don't know that this serves any useful purpose but you could try to manually setup the profile but you would have to find a way to install the SSL cert without the utility, you may be able to email it to your Iphone through a IMAP gmail account. Andy Hi Chris,

What version of Exchange are you running?

Are you using the Godaddy certificate on Exchange, OWA, and the Iphone?

Also, if you setup a profile with SSL enabled using the config utility, you cannot manually change the SSL setting on the Iphone.

I don’t know that this serves any useful purpose but you could try to manually setup the profile but you would have to find a way to install the SSL cert without the utility, you may be able to email it to your Iphone through a IMAP gmail account.

I haven't for the life of me been able to get all 3 working together until folloing your solution using the iphone config utility. Thanks! However, I wonder if it really is working because when I set IIS to accept only SSL connections, my iphone no longer syncs! OWA works perfect with only SSL, so I assume my certificate (godaddy) are set up correctly. The Profile on the iphone has the setting greyed out, but it does indicate SSL in enabled. I wonder if when I profile is set up in this manner, that if SSL is not availble it turns it off. In which case I am back to square one! Interestingly, when I installed the profile on the iphone, includeing the certificate, it said that it was not from a valid authority. Did you experiance the same thing?
