The Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync Certificate-Based authentication tool provides several utilities to assist an Exchange administrator in configuring and validating client certificate authentication for Exchange Server ActiveSync.

These utilities include:

  • A tool to assist the administrator in configuring certificate enrollment for mobile devices connecting to Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2. Specifically, the tool will help the administrator populate the Active Directory with the following information to be used by the mobile device when enrolling for a certificate:
    • Certification authority (CA) server name
    • Certificate template that will be used
    • Other settings, such as custom Web enrollment URLs

Because the tool writes information to the Active Directory, it must be run by someone with domain administrator privileges.

  • Additional tools to validate that a mobile device can successfully retrieve the above configuration information from the Active Directory.
  • Documentation outlining the server configuration steps necessary to enable & require certificate-based authentication for Exchange ActiveSync.
