Situation

Configuring the Secure Gateway to use SSL certificate.

Resolution

1. Within DOS prompt on the Secure Gateway Server, go to C:\Program files\Secure Gateway\jre1.5.0_01.

Type in: keytool.exe -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias -keystore

*The "servername" above must be the actual name of the box running the Mobile Suite, the "name.key" will be the name you want the key file to be.

Answer all of the questions prompted for, this information will be in the certificate.

Whatever you named the key will be generated in: C:\Program Files\
Secure Gateway\jre1.5.0.0_01\bin

2. Copy the key file into C:\Program Files\Secure Gateway\CommSrv\conf


3. Next, on the Secure Gateway server, open the"securegateway.properties" file in C:\Program files\Secure Gateway\CommSrv\conf and add the following, case sensitive lines:

HttpsSSLPort=443
SSLKeyFileName=
SSLPassCode=

*The "name.key" is the file created in steps above. The password is the same used as one of the questions prompted during the key creation. (Do not use the angle brackets shown in example"<>".)

Restart the Intellisync Mobile Suite and Secure Gateway services and you should be working with SSL.
