Overview
Important: Use this tool for testing purposes only. Do not use this tool in your regular production environment.
Important: The Disable Certification Verification tool cannot be used to disable certificate verification on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. The tool works only with Windows Mobile 2002 and Windows Mobile 2003 devices.
Use the Disable Certification Verification tool to allow users who have Windows Mobile devices to connect to Exchange servers without verifying the root certification authority against the certificate trust list on the device. The device still uses SSL to connect to Exchange Server, but the Exchange certificate check allows certificates from un-trusted certificate authorities to be used without generating errors.
