Guys

Is this topic still under discussion?

I think https://mail.google.com is the most obviously example. I could import “Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority”, “Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.”
but I can’t import certificate “ Google Inc”.
This might be due to “Google Inc” lack of the feature:

Key Usage

Thawte has:
Certificate Signing, Off-line CRL Signing, CRL Signing (06)

Could someone help trying to import “Google Inc” certificate?

Hi
Your site seemed to work to allow download and import-Great. However, no matter what settings I try it still either pompts for Cert, or if on Always on (desired) E61 sits there constantly showing “connecting” ?

Is there any other settings require? Or minimum/latest S/W or even M4E version? I am usinh early 1.3 as its the onlyone that works withour Certs. I too have been fault finding this for a year…

Appreciate any input/direction.

i use the N95, my network is cingular(at&t). When i goto the nokia business solutions web site to download the new 2.0 EFM software, i noticed the N95 disapperas when i choose AT&T ans my provider. I have to choose “other” as my provider in order to view the N95 phone 2.0 software download. I have downloaded the software. It appears that this phone will only work with your exchange after you have:
1. loaded a trusted cert on to your email server(one listed on your phone)
2. transfered a cert from your email server to your phoe in the correct format and verify that the cert now appears in your phones cert list.

Hi,

Thanks for the help so far on this. I have now got the cer installed on my phone thanks to the help of Willem’s posts.

Now when I try and sync with Nokia Mail for Exchange it starts to connect and I get “Connection error, try again later” no idea what that is about.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Willem,
thanks very much. Your website helped me alot. I have been struggling with this for over a year! For a year I paid alot for a Thawte certificate and when it ran out I searched around to get our own certificate to work and thanks to your website it does.

Why do nokia make is SOO freaking hard to get the certificate on the phone? It is more of a pain that using a ‘floppy disk’.

Hi Steve,

glad to be of help to the fellow symbian phone user
If we have to wait for nokia/symbian to fix this, it might take forever :-)

Thanks Willem, your weblink clinched it. From my PC, I used the original instructions, doing the export wizard to download the certificate in DER format. It exported with file ext .cer. Then I uploaded to Willems’s webpage, which then emailed me a link. Then I switched to my E62 email and clicked the link. THEN it prompted to import the cert. I checked both boxes and then like magic, no more untrusted certificate prompt.

For the person who said to uncheck security, well that is the point. We don’t want to be sending date in clear text. In my case, I am using my own mail server and connecting to it using Secure IMAP.

Now my phone is perfect… until next week when I can’t do something else ;-)

I made a webpage (http://www.redelijkheid.com/symcaimport) where you can upload the der certificate and use your phone browser to download the certificate. This saves you from modifying your own webserver to get the certificate (which is also recommended by Nokia). Handy if you tend to use lot’s of selfsigned certificates in combination with your symbian based phone…..

For those of you who can’t download (get the text) a .cer certificate from a webserver I suggest simply changing the extension of the file from .cer to something like .exe and downloading.
You can change the extension later on with the File Manager.
