SSL Certificates Patch Coming for Windows Phone

Posted by Nelson Ocampo in "Windows Phone News" @ 01:30 PM

"Back in March we reported on some fraudulent SSL certificates that could make WP7 users vulnerable to phishing/spoofing attacks, and the possibility that MS would be releasing a security update to fix it. According to SlashGear, sources have revealed that MS plans to roll out the update on May 3. It is still unknown whether the patch will come in the form of an OTA push or through Zune software updates."

It's good to see Microsoft responding quickly. I just hope the actual update makes it to phones by their target date. Check out the link to WPCentral for more info.

SSLChainSaver 2 Released

Posted by Jon Westfall in "Pocket PC Software" @ 12:30 PM

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile...2-released.aspx

"Two years ago I released the first version of the SSLChainSaver tool. This tool helps you diagnose and repair SSL problems on Windows Mobile devices. After a very long delay, Version 2 is now up on the Microsoft download center. I wasn't able to release the source code this time. The usage instructions are similar to the previous version"


If you're like me, you hate to pay for something you can get for free - even if it means a bit more work to implement compared to the pay solution. Thus is the reason I have a self-signed certificate on my Exchange server, and the reason I need to deploy a root certificate to any device I want to connect to it. SSLChainSaver can be very helpful in getting the certs together that need deployed so you can easily create a CAB file to send them on their merry way. And while you're laughing at certificate fees, your users won't be bugging you about sending them a root certificate and instructions on how to install it (As often...).
