Exchange 2003 / WM 6.1 SSL ActiveSync not working

Hello
I’m having a difficult time figuring something out and wanted some assistance if possible.
We currently have 1 Exch 2003 sp2 server fully patched in a Win2k3 domain.
We have 4 Palm Treo Pro devices running windows mobile 6.1. We recently purchased an SSL unified communcations certificate from Digicert. To secure OWA, I applied this to the default web site in IIS and succesfully was able to connect to OWA using https, however it broke the synch process to our mobile phones would not sync to our exch server. So after trying to remove the requirement for SSL and seeing that the mobile phones were not working, (also followed several documents to troubleshoot – http://www.amset.info/exchange/mobile-eastrouble.asp and
http://www.amset.info/exchange/mobile-85010014.asp
I reset the default web site virtual directories back to their original state using the following article from Microsoft. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883380
Follwing this document worked successfully. So now i’m back to being able to resync the phones and able to access owa using http.

Today the only change I made was adding “Requring SSL” to just the Exchange virtual directory and the OMA virtual directory. I was able to access owa using https but the phones did not synch. I manually added the digital cert to the phone but no luck.

Is there a problem with Windows mobile 6.1 using SSL ??? does anyone have this working?

Thanks
Jamie
