ActiveSync Authentication

Question
-
Hi all,
I'm having a problem getting Activesync working on one of my IAGs. One of the devices is working fine, but the other device is having problems. I compared the IAG configs for the ActiveSync trunk between the 2 and they are setup identically with the exception of IPs. I get the messages below. The iPad I'm testing with says the connection to server failed. I use the same auth group for other trunks and they work fine. I get the messages below.
Warning 01/31/2011 09:57:36 24 ApplicationAuthenticationFailed"Application Authentication Failed Security"Security testsync(S)"testsync (S) Request failed, failed to reply to application's authentication request (HTTP 401 request).

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm marking your question as answered, even though it hasn't been. It appears no one has been able to provide an answer. If the topic is still a concern, I would suggest you open a support case with Microsoft CSS, and an engineer will help you investigate the issue.

A user certificate installed on the device probably...

If its a windows mobile phone then you might need to install the intermediary certificate manually on the phone. I believe Iphone and Androids dont care. My HTC HD2 requires that certificate to present or else activesync wont work.

...or even the Root CA if the cert is from a Root CA that is not included in the mobile device by default (like a private/internal Root CA).

I have 2 IAGs setup. The one IAG is working fine and I didn't have to do anything with certs on the IPad. When I point it to the other IAG is when I get the cert error. I believe I have both IAGs set up identically.
