Guide - Configuring Exchange Active Sync on HTC Hero Android Device

I decided this morning to test the Exchange ActiveSync connection on my HTC Hero. I went through the account settings and authenticated with the server successfully, specified the data I wanted to sync, and then, when it came to finalising the settings, it failed with the following error:

"Error
Failed to create the account. Please try again later."

Great. Well, it definitely authenticated fine, so what's the problem? A little further digging and I discovered that this was down to a security setting I use on my Exchange server which forces mobile ActiveSync users to specify a PIN number on their phone to add an additional layer of security on the phone. It seems the HTC Hero can't deal with sending back your encrypted password. So, if you use SSL with your web-facing Exchange server, you won't be able to connect without either turning off the mobile users password policy requirement, or, I assume, using a certified web certificate. Neither turning off SSL or turning off the password policy is a particularly good idea, and I daresay if you ask your IT department to do it they'll laugh you out of their office (I know I would), so the best option would be to ask your IT admins to arrange for a web certificate. In the interests of covering all the options for this guide though, I'll detail the method of excluding specific users from the password policy-

* Open Exchange System Manager
* Expand Global Settings and then right click on Mobile Services and choose Properties
* Click the Device Security button
* The "Enforce password on device" tick box is the culprit here, but it's better to turn it off for one specific user rather than the whole domain, so push the Exceptions button
* Push Add and select the user you want added to the exception list
* Push OK three times to get back to Exchange System Manager and you're done

OK, now that that's out of the way, the following guide details the method for setting up Exchange ActiveSync on Android. It's based on my HTC Hero, but it should be a similar process for other Android devices.

* Tap the Mail icon then tap "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync"
* Enter your email address in the top field and your Active Directory password in the second field
* Tap "Manual Setup"
* Enter the full Exchange server gateway URL (or IP address) in to the "Server address" field (eg: mail.yourdomain.com)
* Enter your Active Directory domain, you'll probably need to use the full domain name (eg: yourdomain.local). Your domain admin will be able to provide you with these details
* Enter your Active Directory username and password in the relevant boxes
* If your domain uses SSL (again, your domain admins will be able to tell you), make sure you tick the "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection"
* Click Next and the phone will say "Verifying account information..."
* If the connection succeeds, you'll be asked to specify what you would like to synchronize from Mail, Contacts and Calendar. If it doesn't succeed, you'll probably have entered in some information incorrectly, go back and re-enter everything. If it still doesn't work, contact your IT department
* Hit Finish Setup and the phone should begin to sync your mail

Hopefully, the Exchange SSL issue will be fixed in future updates, but I wouldn't hold your breath on that.

Portable data storage device

Proper storage and data protection is known as one of the challenges in the virtual world. And that is why portable media certainly a major concern for many of us for quite a long time. In recent years, however, paved the way for a series of innovations in data storage. After realizing the fact that data storage is an important and critical part of our modern times, was an efficient storage of data materialized through the development and launch of the UniversalSerial Bus (USB) storage devices. A high degree of data security with secrecy and confidentiality have been taken to ensure the use of USB.

There are many different types of USB storage devices, some flash drives, external hard drives, memory card readers and external CD and DVD burners. In terms of functionality, the USB port is not the fastest way to transfer data to and from your computer to an external device, but it was found that more thansufficient for the task. E 'was also a great success on the basis of its ubiquity. And in terms of volume, which is much more than the number of external USB hard drives and other USB storage devices. The USB is widely used by people for almost any hand-held devices such as mobile phones and MP3 players. In this sense, the two above-directory which was also seen as a form of USB storage devices.

As before, there are a lot of progress since theArchiving and backup of files by using USB. You can use USB flash drives and USB memory card reader, select it in various sizes and storage capacity. In addition, there are also many external devices that can be used for storage and data protection.

USB recommended for data storage is popularly known for his accessibility and portability of known file. A user is not required to use a lot of time to install and use the USB cable to be thereall they have to do is just plug and the device is ready to store all its files. Convenient to use, portable, accessible and simple, this is just some of the most important features of a USB storage device and all of these properties is that they are all the more indispensable in the coming years.

SBG6580 cable modem - Four in a single device for high-bandwidth wireless network

Wireless networks have become very popular in businesses and homes. The beauty of all wireless networks is the lack of wires - no cables, no problem to run the network cable. Home users can network with a lack of knowledge is now a wireless network at home with simple all-in-one router SBG6580 cable modem.

Basically, if you create a wireless network to connect to cable broadband with multiple computers at home some partiesrequires three devices. First, you need a cable modem. A modem is to convert the analog signal into digital signal and vice versa. Secondly, you need a router with firewall function. A router (firewall function) is used to protect your home network against all types of Internet threats. Furthermore, with NAT firewall function is used to be able to share a single Internet connection among multiple computers on the network. Finally, you need a wireless access point to expand the networkaccess.

The construction of a wireless network with three units by users at home, lack of networking capabilities is to look complicated. Fortunately, the technological innovations that make life easier. Motorola ships a compact device - All-in-one that combines all the requirements for the construction of the wireless network at home without problems, SBG6580 cable modem router.

What is this product

SURFboard SBG6580 is fully integrated, all-in-one cable modem router, one device forfor sharing your home networking solution wireless Internet connection via cable. Not only that, to a wireless network at home, you can also share files, share a multifunction printer (with wireless print server), play, and phone calls over the Internet.

Cable Modem function

SBG6580 is DOCSIS 3.0 cable / Euro-DOCSIS modem provides 3.o channel bonding of up to 8 channels of upstream and 4 downstream - allows the operator to their customers advanced multimedia services that canData transfer rates of well over 300 Mbps in DOCSIS and 400 Mbps in Euro-DOCSIS received (downstream) data stream and 100 Mbps upstream direction (upstream) data flow. This is the first requirement for the network.

Firewall and router function

SBG6580 Cable Modem Router supports NAT firewall to allow the IP network address translation, it means that you share a single Internet connection with multiple computers on the network behind the firewall. The modem also supports statefulFilter Packet Inspection (SPI), function for the incoming traffic to protect the network against Internet threats such as DoS (Denial of Service) attacks and malware. The modem also supports the routing function, including routes static and dynamic routing (RIPv1, RIPv2). This is the second prerequisite for the network.

Wireless Access Point

SBG6580 wireless cable modem router is the wireless access point with the latest 802.11n wireless technology with dual power supplies can be selectedFrequency band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) and an internal 2 x 2 antenna array, allowing users to maximize the potential of broadband networks from home or business. In addition to the wireless connection, users can also use the included 4-port Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed cable connections to your computer. This is your third requirement for the wireless network at home.

The modem also contains the DHCP service, the service is very essential for networking. The DHCP service, allThe IP configuration of all computers on the network are automatic - to reduce the administrative burden.

Unlike wired connection, wireless connection is vulnerable to interception by the user within the network coverage. Therefore, the SBG6580 supports the broad spectrum of security, including WEP-64/128, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, AES, 802.1x, 802.11i (pre-authentication). To secure the client's connection to the network, the device supports the user-friendly Wi-Fi ProtectedSetup (WPS) with easy-WPS-compatible device

The modem also supports VPN secure tunnels to create the first on your home network via the public network (also known as the Internet.) Travel users can use the private network through the Internet from any access around the world safe with L2TP.

The SBG6580 includes a tuner, advanced to a 1 GHz input, downstream operators, allows the frequency spectrum to provide new growthhigh quality services such as bandwidth on demand, business services, interactive gaming and IPTV to their customers.

iPhone Vs Blackberry - A Mobile Device Comparison

The BlackBerry has been favored over other smartphones for corporate use for a number of reasons. However, in today's workplace, enterprises are adopting iPhones at a rapid pace, because of a push by employees who want to use them in both their personal and professional life.

Yes, there will always be great debate over which mobile device is superior from a usability standpoint. But when it comes to security, which device is best suited for the enterprise?

Mobile device comparison

BlackBerry®:

Robust management ecosystem: The significant differentiator in security is the management flexibility that the BlackBerry provides. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server® provides rich controls that allow scalable management for thousands of users.

Application policies: Administrators can define precise policies to control which applications can be downloaded to and run on the device. The security model allows administrators to translate and enforce acceptable use policies.

Transport security: The BlackBerry uses a secure and encrypted connection back to the enterprise that enables it to access corporate resources. This transparent VPN connection allows accessibility without exposing resources to the cloud.

Device/data encryption software security: The BlackBerry has robust encryption and data protection built in. Policies can be centrally defined. This ensures web traffic passes through scanning proxies and the device itself is kept very secure with very strong data encryption.

Remote wipe/restore: If a device is lost it can be remotely disabled and the data removed very quickly. Moreover, new devices can be provisioned with a complete copy of the original data, policies and applications. Research in Motion (RIM) provides the right tools for secure mobile computing - they just need to be configured. In particular, take advantage of the device's configuration capabilities to lock down the methods by which software can be installed. The recent spyware distributed by Etisala is an example of increasing focus on mobile devices. RIM produced a whitepaper paper that thoroughly explains how to lock down the device to control applications and prevent such threats.

iPhone(TM):

Lack of computer policies: Unlike the BlackBerry, the iPhone does not have rich central management. A simple portal is provided to allow device location (using the built-in GPS) and remote wipe, which works reasonably well, compared to earlier versions that took many hours to remove the the vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, there are no controls over allowed applications, configuration or security. Users must set up their own configuration (and they make it very easy) but this doesn't mean that secure protocols are necessarily used.

Too much user privilege: The iPhone essentially provides all users with administrator capabilities. They can install any applications or change any of the configurations. While this delivers user satisfaction, it is a security nightmare. This pushes the security policy on to the user with a severe dependence on education.

Exposure to cloud: While BlackBerry provides seamless and secure access to corporate resources within the perimeter, the iPhone requires exposure to the internet. Smaller businesses, or those embracing cloud exposed mail systems or corporate resources, will find the device easy to configure. Those with internal systems with controlled exposure may find the iPhone requires them to break their data protection security model or to have users VPN in to access resources. This can degrade the usability of the solution but is key to avoid exposing sensitive data in a cloud where the security model is still not yet broadly defined.
