Add self-signed certificate to Windows phone
Supported inSync mobile app versions:3.2.1 or later
Before you activate inSync mobile app on a Windows phone, you must add self-signed certificates to the Windows device. The certificate lets you authenticate the connection to the inSync Server, and activate the inSync mobile app on the Windows device.
Step 1: Export the self-signed certificate
This task must be performed by the inSync administrator. From a computer with Windows OS, you export the self-signed certificates. You need to install two certificates: one for port 443 and the other for port 6061.
To export the self-signed certificate for port 443:
- Open Mozilla Firefox on the computer with Windows OS.
- Enter the URL https://<your IP or FQDN>:443. The This Connection is Untrusted message appears.
- Expand I understand the risk and click Add Exception.
- At the Add Security Exception dialog box, click View.
- At the Certificate Viewer dialog box, click Details tab.
- Click Export.
- At the Export Certificate Wizard, click Next.
- From the Export File Format, select DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER) and then click Next.
- Enter the filename as cert1.cer and preferably save the file at the Desktop.
- Click Finish.
- Email the cert1.cert file to the inSync user.
To export the self-signed certificate for port 6061:
- Open Mozilla Firefox on the computer with Windows OS.
- Enter the URL https://<your IP or FQDN>:6061. The This Connection is Untrusted message appears.
- Expand I understand the risk and click Add Exception.
- At the Add Security Exception dialog box, click View.
- At the Certificate Viewer dialog box, click Details tab.
- Click Export.
- At the Export Certificate Wizard, click Next.
- From the Export File Format, select DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER) and then click Next.
- Enter the filename as cert2.cer and preferably save the file at the Desktop.
- Click Finish.
- Email the cert2.cert file to the inSync user.
Step 2: Install the self-signed certificates on Windows device
This task must be performed by the inSync user. Once the self-signed certificates are available, you install the certificates on the Windows device.
- On the Windows device, open the email that contains the certificate attached.
- Open the cert1.cer file and install on the Windows device.
- Open the cert2.cer file and install on the Windows device.
- Close the email application.
- Launch the inSync mobile app.
