    Can I buy client side certificates for active sync devices?  The reason I ask, I don't want to setup a CA, and not because it's difficult, I just would rather not. 

    I'm configuring a reverse proxy and my active sync devices will require a certficate for each device, but like I said I'd rather buy them then manage a CA.

    Hi rholland,

    If your organization uses an SSL certificate from a trusted commercial CA, your users might not have to install the certificate on their phone. Most phones have certificates from several trusted commercial CAs preinstalled in the root store of the phone.

    Is the goal here to use activesync with certificate authentication or simply have a certificate on your reverseproxy?

    Well yes and know, its working, however I'm not sure if its working the way I want, which moderator "Lasse P." points out.  I wants certs. to be required inorder work, but I don't believe I understand how that's going to work.

    I'm using apache as a reverse proxy and it's only allowing active sync through which was part of the goal, the other part was to require certs.  Right now with or without certs work and I'm attempting to remedy the problem, but I'm not sure how.

    Since the inital post, I've install a CA in our environment with the idea of using internal user certs, but again, I'm sure how to require this.
