Sharepoint mobile

[IBMan]

Hello, I'm going to be posting this on several different message boards because I'm not really sure who will be able to help. If anyone has any suggestions as to other websites I can post this question on, please feel free to suggest. The other couple that I'm going to post to first is xda developers forums, and msfn (dot) org

I am having problems connecting Sharepoint workspace mobile to my Sharepoint 2010 server. I have winmo 6.5 pro and the sharepoint app is running. I have an unlimited data plan, and I have tested this where my data works fine. I have tested this inside my network and outside also using wifi.

I have one standalone Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise server installed. The server is working. I can get to the website using a web browser and it is running off of port 80. I can browse to the site from outside my firewall as well as inside with no problems. So I know that Sharepoint, in and of itself, is working.

I have tried two other phones running winmo 6.5 with data plans, and office 2010 mobile and am getting the same error.

Basically, I open sharepoint mobile 2010, go to the address sharepoint.domain.com (just an example) and I get the error: "Cannot connect. Sharepoint mobile doesn't support the authentication scheme that this server requires. Do you want to open this in your web browser?"

If I click yes, it does open the sharepoint site in IE.

All I really want is to be able to sync docs between a doc library and my phone, and my PC using workspace.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Under the web server that you have authentication methods, I am guessing you have integrated windows auth or something like that set , and to use it with winmo it needs to be set to basic.

Now it has been a while since I set one up , but I think that is your problem ..

You will have to make sure that the main and all subwebs get changed to match the same authentication ...


One thing I have done in the past if you need integrated for your intranet, is to clone the sharepoint site, and run a second one for mobile users, just make sure you are using the same data stores .....

I also hit you up on XDA-developers ...

Awesome. Amazing. Thanks for the quick reply. I had a previous server install that I'm pretty sure I tried this on. Is this in the same location as where I would setup anonymous access?

I will give this another try. Now do I need to make any changes to IIS or just the sharepoint web app?

Thanks

Alright so in Central Admin I turned on basic authentication for my main sharepoint site - 80.

Still getting the same error.

Am I correct in assuming I don't need SCMDM or Forefront UAG to actually connect?
