ios 10 with self-signed certificate in MS Exchange

Hi,


i try to connect a iPhone 5SE on iOS 10.0.2 with an MS Exchange 2013 Server.

The iPhone stops with "Cannot Verify Server". On iOS i had the choice between "Detail", "Cancel" and "Continue".

On iOS 10, i can choose between "Detail" and "Cancel".


Is it necessary to import the matching root-ca to the iPhone?

None of the provided Solutions worked for me, but I got it working either way using a slightly different Approach.

This has been tested twice with both an iPhone 5s and an iPad Air (don't know the Revision) running iOS 10.2


First off, delete all Exchange-related Certificates off of your iDevice.

Then export your Domains root-CA's certificate(s), which is used to establish the Domain trust.

Send yourself an E-Mail containing the certificate(s) and make sure to Import it/them from within the mail app. (this is crucial)


Afterwards you can re-add your Exchange-Account and it will give you the Option to trust the Connection, because now the CA is known and trusted by your device.


I hope this helps. I was also struggling with this issue since October and stumbled upon this solution by complete accident at work.


Regards,
