ActiveSync doesn't use SSL!

I'd prefer to be able to connect to my exchange server using an SSL certificate rather than an insecure connection. Is there any easy way to achieve this?

Activesync DOES use SSL unless you've disabled it with the disable cert check utility, or if you haven't configured your server fully by running the Configure Email and Internet Connection Wizard.

For the best overview on SBS & Mobile Synching see http://seanda.blogspot.com/2004/12/configuring-mobility-on-sbs-2003.html

I've re-run the wizard and tried reconfiguring the Smartphone to use an SSL connection, but I'm getting:

"You cannot log on to Microsoft Exchange Server because the security certificate on the server is not valid or expired."

Any ideas?

It turns out I would have to buy one, not something I'm really fussed about. I've installed Certification Services on my server but that doesn't make any difference; it needs to come from a trusted CA like VeriSign.

Thanks to both.
