@Chris I haven’t used this setup with an ISA server, maybe someone else will comment.

@Certs This is only required for servers using self signed certificates and other special situations.

I have update the post to reflect this.

Thanks for the input.

All this stuff about placing the Ca cert on the phone is lame.. This isn’t necessary at all.. why are you wasting everyone’s time.

I am trying to setup iphone to work in on my network for users. We are using iphone 3gs with Exchange 2007 and ISA 2006. Anyone have any experience with configuring the ISA element.

My understanding is that it uses RPC over HTTP and a random port selection procedure. I know I will have to ensure our leased line provider has these ports open.

I’m struggling with the setup procedure at this point.

This is for people who want to use MS windows CA component. To get a MS CA installed on an Iphone, follow the below process:

1. On your Iphone, browse your server by typing http OR https://mail.domain.com/certsrv
2. Login with Admin credentials on the users iPhone
3. Click on: Download a CA certificate, certificate chain, or CRL
4. Then click on Encoding method, e.g. Base 64
5. Now click on Download CA certificate
6. On iPhone you will now see a screen to install the certificate.
7. Now the certificate is on iPhone and you can use SSL for activesync feature.

I’m a bit confused. I am not the one using the Iphone, but have the responsibility of supporting the user with the phone. We were using Outlook 2003 and the phone would sync just fine. Read emails would appear as read in both places, deleting, replying, all that worked. Now we have upgraded to Outlook 2007 and that is no longer the case. Is there a setting that I am missing that would correct this issue?

I don’t actually own and Iphone so I can’t say about locking it up.

Why don’t you just use Outlook on a PC to transfer the contacts, then configure the new account?

The config utility created a configuration file bundled with the SSL cert.

You can proabably view the file, there may be a way to do this without the utility.

Is the 07 server using a selfsigned cert? If it using a valid public properly chaining SSL cert, you wouldn’t need to use the utility at all.

I have 2003 mailbox configured on the phone, and have 2007 account and want to migrate contacts.

I think I can figure it out, but I have to ask about that Iphone Configuration Utility, because I own jailboroken phone.

Is there any danger of locking my phone?
