Hey guys, got it! http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?...market://search?q=pname:com.nitrodesk.nitroid
It's on the market. Works perfect, it has great design and it's exactly for our problem. I did have some issues with the authentication because the exchange allows only WM devices but the developer was so kind and helpful to find a solution.
It has 5 days trial. You can try if it works with your exchange servers.
The app is simply amazing allowing you to install 2 different types of certificates.
Will buy the license for sure.
Finally!
I concur, Nitroid's "Touchdown" works wonderfully. And I cannot say enough about the tech support. In the early versions (which were a bit buggy but still worked well) they staff was responsive and helpful in what turned out to be a very stupid config error on my end. They were willing to help me troubleshoot multiple times (thru e-mail but extremely fast, I have a gmail thread with about 6 or 7 responses in a row in one day). When all was said and done I was left with a "now that's how you handle a frustrated customer!" feeling, in a word, they rock!
P.S Touchdown allows you to choose which folders from your server you wish to see if your like me and don't have everything flooding your inbox. That was a big issue for me on the old work email app from the earlier Hero roms.
Great! will test during these days then!
.cer files import SUCCESSFULLY to get exchange sync
Just got a Sprint HTC EVO running Android (GREAT PHONE!!).
Found out from several posts that there is a function
Settings -> Security -> Install from SD Card
that imports .p12 certificates from the root of the SD Card.
Found out that it recognizes and successfully imports .cer certificate files too!!.
[Warning, you can use usb to copy the certificate to the root of your SD Card, but be sure to disconnect otherwise the "Install from SD Card" will be greyed out.]
hi Kathey
I managed to copy and install the certificate following your instructions but it is still impossible to download attachements can you do it?
I don't know if the certificate was recognized by my HTC Desire.
I've tried everything and I am so disappointed i really need my connection to exchange to open up the attachments.

@kathey: Just an addition
.cer certificates are normally encoded in DER/binary. Android cannot read these files!
You may need to convert the certificates to Standard PEM (normally with .crt file extension).
I was able to import a PEM BASE64 certificate I exported from the Windows MMC (certmgr.msc) into my G2 after changing the file extension from .cer to .crt

Has anyone used these certificates to read encrypted email successfully on the Android, I can install the certificate from SD card, but cannot decrypt encrypted email, I could do this on windows mobile 5!!! Am I missing a step or funciotnality not available yet on Froyo 2.2
I was trying to install .cer and .crt certificates onto my HTC Desire and it kept saying "No certificates to install" when selecting the files in the root folder of the SD card. Then I generated a .p12 format file, which seemed to work. I don't know if it was because of the format readability or the earlier files were corrupt. Might be helpful.
the procedure: Settings > Security > Install from SD card (u should see the certificate files here if any present on your SD card root folder).
Cheers.
You can check your corporative email using a certificate file with SecureEAS app, is on the market, and it's free.

I know this app. It's just a vpn client.
And this cisco client required certificate to be installed to setup client properly.
And the question is how to get this certiificate? Where can I get it or generate ?
From the cisco router?

Ever since I moved from Windoze Mobile 6.5 that seamlessly handled certificates, the only solution Ive found for encrypting email is using Touchdown
Great. Tks alot. I was success.
Hi,
To gain access to WIFI at university I have to login with my user/pass credentials.
The certificate of their website (the local home page that asks for the credentials) is not recognized as a trusted certificate, so we install it separately on our computers.
I want to know how to install such certificates on Android, I have HTC magic and I came through this question which seems the same problem but the solution is specific to exchange server and not the browser http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551512
This is the details of installing the certificate from the university's page [LINK]
if you are rooted, download wifi helper (its free) from market and it should help you configure your wifi with custom cert files.
Hey,
I stumbled onto this topic as I had the problem (but on the Droid, Android v2.0). I then figured out how to do it and made a tool to make it easier. I call it RealmB's Android Certificate Installer. It basically gives your Android's web browser the correct HTTP headers to make it launch the CA certificate installation wizard.
Hope this helps,
Brian
I used Android's built-in certificate manager.
1. Just drop your certificate file onto the sdcard/download folder.
Note: Keep in mind the manager looks for .p12 and/or .crt files. I had a .cer file, but it was PEM formatted so I simply changed the extension.
2. Go to settings-> Security & Privacy -> Install from SD Card
Note: I use the MIUI rom, so millage may vary a bit on other roms
Done! Enter your credentials password, or create a new one if you didn't have one already, and you're all set!
Thanks MrNago
renaming .cer to .crt really makes me being able to install it. Life can be so easy ... (MIUI 2.3)
I was looking for a way to do this exact thing, and found a (potentially) easier way to install the certificate. If you have access to a web site, you can just put the .crt file on it, go to the site, click the file and voila... It installs on the device.
Worked like a charm since I do not have an SD card with me, but I needed to install the certificate.
Thanks for the comments above. I had a .cer file, and renaming it worked like a champ as well.

Thanks, this works.
To install a browser certificate into a pre-ICS ROM, use Portecle to add it to /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks.
Notes:
- obviously, ROOT is required to do this
- the keystore p/w is changeit
- In ICS a certificate can be simply added via Settings
The problem is only old stock browser sees installed certificate. This browser doesn't exist on Jelly Bean for Nexus 7. Google Chrome is default browser here.
Anyone knows a solution to this?
Thanks

The solution could be to wait until the bug in Chrome is fixed.
web security
Web certificate and web site security have much need for everyone. IF any one have want web project and security you should hire developers.
I need to import a certificate for my WIFI. I can get this as a PEM or DER format certificate from our admins, which I can use on anything else from a laptop to a pda.
On the Nexus the certificate needs to be .p12 files (PKCS#12). I do not have one of these, nor can I get one, nor can I find a way to convert the current PEM/DER to one of these.
How do I do this? It seem pointless if the nexus requires a different format than that provided to people to work with all other devices. Admins are not going to start issuing a special format, just for nexus users, Especially when that format seems to need a private key in addition and/or another password too.
Anyone else managed to do this?
I installed a certificate (a .crt file) by opening it with the web browser (via HTTP). You could also try opening it in Astro or another file manager.
A lot of people have complained about this. Apparently you have to import it from the web browser. File and gmail apps don't seem to know how to handle the certs.
You can forward it to your gmail account then use the web browser to get to gmail and import it from there.
Hi Guys,
I don't mean to hijack the thread, I've been trying to find the full encryption standards and protocols supported by the nexus one and have not had much luck. I presume you guys might have an idea.
Anyone got a link ? Thanks for your help. Ash.

I've tried opening with a few file browsers, no luck as they refuse to open them, tried various ways of opening with web browsers, no luck as all they want to do is save them, and then the file browsers dont want to open. Also tried email and opening through the web or client. No luck.
Can you guys break it down how you got it to work ?
Thanks
Ash.
Anyone know how to load a .crt and .ca certificates on the nexus one ?
I've tried doing everyway with and without the certificates.
Thanks
Ash.
Just tried uploading a .DER cert to my personal FTP and goto it via the browser and it simply opened it like a text file. .P12 files are recognised by the browser fine and the user is prompted for the passkey but that is expected as .P12 seem to be the only type of cert that works on Android.
You could try to manually modify wpa_supplicant.conf . Depending on the network configuration this may vary. This is the same way you would do it in Linux. I remember I did this in my G1 ( I dunno if you need root, my G1 was rooted anyway), but the location of the file was not in /etc like it is usually in most Linux. My conf looked like this:
network={
ssid="somenetworkWPA"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
password="pass"
phase2="autheap=MSCHAPV2"
ca_cert="/sdcard/mycert.der"
}
There are plenty of samples and explanations around the net about changing this file. Hope this helps.

It's /data/misc/wifi/wpa-supplicant.conf. It's owned by wifi:wifi with permissions 770. So it appears you'll need to be root.
Hi,
i'm new new into Android world, now equipped with Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I don't know how to import certificates for use with VPN.
There is option in the settings to import certificates, but it says something like "Import from USB device".
If I place cert files into tab, this option does not work.
Do I really need to connect some usb stick through adapter (sold separately) and import certificates from this usb device?
Thanks for any help
no text.....
I highly doubt anyone here is going to even know what a certificate is. Sorry.
A lot of us do, I use encrypted email and could only get it to work using NitroDesk as email client, used wifi to transfer the certificates and install them, now I send & receive secure emai with my biller as required by HIPAA (I'm a physician)
My VPN doesnt use a certificate, but ifyou are able to install the certificate, it should work, I am able to use a VPN connection on my TAB and remote deskop into any of my office computers in seconds

Ok, so do you think there is a more appropriate forum where I can ask about certificates on Android? Searching the web didn't give any answer...
Not sure what certificates you have, but I had to install 2 *.p12 certificates to be able to use WiFi at uni.
I just copied the certificates to sdcard and used the install from USB option in location and security settings.

I have .cer and .pfx certificate, maybe Android does not like this type of certificates...
Update: I've converted cer->crt nad pfx->p12 (by Firefox) and voila - import successful.
Thanks for tip, closing case.

Hi All,
I’ve just got myself a “bargain” from eBay that was advertised as unlocked but alas turned up with the sim lock on
I’ve contacted the Tmobile network in the UK and they will only send a code to a uk address and I am not there.
I have looked on this and other forums and seen that I could do it myself. I have rooted the phone and now have the yellow warning triangle on boot up. I also have CWM and Superuser icons in the Applications.
I have then tried to go onto the android app store to download Chainfires Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock. I then get the "There are no Android phones associated with this account" problem. Again I have looked at the solution to remove the phone number and re-enter it but this has not worked. I have tried several times.
I do not have Wifi and obviously can’t access the internet on the phone.
Is someone able to kindly send me the file in an email?
Once I have this done what else do I need to do to the phone? I’ve rooted it but only to the closest number I could find.
Thanks to XDA and all of you for reading this!
I'm a little slow so plese can you dumb it down... alot! ha ha
Phone: GT-I9100
Android version - 2.3.5
Baseband version - I9100BOKJ1
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BOKK1

That app only works on early version phones and may not work for you. If it doesn't you should try Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app it works on all S II's but I believe it requires Internet to get a small payload. Which could be a problem for you unless you drive around for the first open WiFi.
It also doesn't give a code it just straight unlocks the phone.
Thanks. I have downloaded this to my computer. What do I now do with it?
I'm still lost... What do I do?
Please can anyone point me in the right direction!
Thanks
Place the app on your internal or external sdcard and install. Ensure you have enabled 'unknown sources' or something like it in the phone settings first. Allow it root access when prompted by the super user app.

Thanks for the quick reply,
The phone is brand new to me and I don't understand your instruction. I have downloaded the file and extraced the folders and files. I have then placed this onto the card. I then go into the phone and have ticked the unknown sources box. I then try to run any of the files and only get a "No applications can perform this action" error.
If I try to run AndroidManifest.xml it opens HTML viewer.
Anyone Please....
It's an apk, you weren't supposed to extract it. Apk files are android installation packages. Push the apk to your phone's sd card, and open it using the "my files" app to install.
Thanks again. I've done that. I can find the file eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode.zip in My files. When I tap on it I get the message "Open file. No applications can perform this action"
What am I doin wrong? Thanks for your patience

You apparently somehow changed the file extension from .apk to .zip. Change it back.
I had to change the file extension from .zip!
I am not running the app and hopefully that will work. Wish me luck!
What else should I do to a new phone? Is there any way to get rid of the Tmobile startup screens?
Thanks for all your help, you have helped me stop pulling all my hair out and shouting at the dog!
The app did not find an unlock code
Anymore ideas anyone?

You can flash a stock unbranded firmware... But it sounds as if you should read a lot more educational material before attempting this. Lots of good information is in the roll up sticky in the i9100 general section. Start there, and start reading. I can't offer you any shortcuts. Shortcuts tend to lead to frustration and bricked phones.
I have looked into other ways to unlock this phone...

Aren't there services on the web that cost abot $40 and send you an unlock code? I understand that you don't have wifi, and the phone doesn't work. But if that's the case, how r u posting here?

I have a computer with a sim card in it. I know that there are services to unlock but I am trying to avoid that cost if I can. Perhaps after I have tried all other options I will have to go that route.
