Apps|Debugging Windows CE .Net applications on the SGH-i637

Hello rgrenfell,

Thanks for your post!

Who issued your certificates, Microsoft mobile2market and is it an Unprivileged Certificate?

AT&T's Windows Mobile certificates are the same, as issued by Microsoft's Mobile2Market. If you're asking for a Trusted ATT Windows Mobile certificate, you would need to first go thru our "Application Onboarding Process", please review the "Go to Market" section in devCentral,

thanks

The certificates I was referring to were the standard certificates provided by Microsoft for Windows Mobile and Smartphone development in the Windows Mobile SDK downloads.  I've attempted to install the following Certificate CABs on the device:

Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK\Tools\SdkCerts.cab

and

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\SmartDevices\SDK\SDKTools\VSDCerts.cab

In both cases I'm informed: "Installation was unsuccessful.  The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."

To the best of my knowledge these are the certificates required to allow Visual Studio debugging upon a Windows Mobile device.  These were not certificates provided to my company specifically for any purpose.  The application itself can be installed to the phone, only the process of attempting to capture Video through DirectShow appears to have an issue when our product is running.

That said to hopefully help clarify my environment, let me ask a question in return so that I might better understand your response question.  Is what you are asking to imply that I might not see the error if I had the application signed with a certificate specifically provided to use through Microsoft or your Application Onboarding Process?  Or were you simply trying to find out why we could not install the certificate in question?

Thanks-

I've been doing some additional research and have found the Samsung Mobile Innovator Windows Mobile SDK and pulled that down.  It claims to support the AT&T Jack.  In addition it lead me to downloading the Windows Mobile 6 SDK. (I've been running the WM 5 SDK)  I pulled all that down.

I attempted to install the Certs provided with the WM 6 SDK and ran into the same issue.  I pulled up the Samsung API Managed Code example and attempted to deploy it form VS to the phone.  Again, insufficient permissions.

I found in the WM6 SDK the Security Configuration Manager Powertool from Microsoft which is apparently designed to allow re-provisioning the phone to allow for development.  It has informed me that the phone security model is Two-Tier Prompt with the following message:

"Your device configuraions is Two-Tier Prompt.  This configuration does not allow you to install certificates on the device.

To change the configuration on the device or get a development device, please contact your mobile operator.

This tool needs to run a priviledged process on your device.  We would like to install a CAB on your device in order to add a priveleged certificate to it.  Currently this is not possible unless the CAB is signed with a certificate on the SPC certificate store."

It then provides me with a list of the devices known certificates.

This would appear to be the path I must follow.  Is this what I would be able to obtain through the "Application Onboarding Process" or through the Microsoft Mobile2Market paths you discussed?  Or are those seperate?

Please inform.

Hello,

I should clarify that the Microsoft Mobile2Market path, is the path suggested if you need to obtain a Privileged Certificate, the "Application Onboarding Process" is for developers who want to partner with AT&T.

thanks

try this, and hope this helps.

Here are steps to install the certificates:

1)      Install Developer Certificates:

a.       Connected your device to Windows Mobile Device Center

b.      Click on `Browse File System¿

c.       Copy C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Tools\Security\SDK Development Certificates\certs.cab to the device.

d.      Using File Manager, click on certs.cab

e.      You should see a messages that says the installation was successful

2)      Turn off Security:

a.       With device still connected from step 1¿

b.      Copy C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Tools\Smartphone\SecurityConfiguration\SecurityOff.cpf to the device.

c.       Using File Manager, click on SecurityOff.cpf

d.      You should receive an SMS message saying the `Change of Device Settings Successful¿.

I'm sorry, but if you return to my third email, I mentioned I'd attempted the Windows Mobile 6 SDK certs and that I ran into the same issue as from my second posting where I got the message "Installation was unsuccessful.  The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."

Did you try this on an AT&T Jack?  The SGH-i637 I believe is the model number.  The cab in question can install on an AT&T Tilt, and many other mobile devices, but not on the Jack.  At least not a retail Jack.

If you did succeed in installing to a Jack, has your Jack already had the 2 Tier Prompt security setting reduced.  That is to ask, are you possibly testing on a development Jack that was not locked down fully?

Rich,

Is the SdkCert.cab signed unprivileged or privileged?

thanks

We are investigating your post with MSFT, hope to have a reply soon.
