Exchange password policy

I just got my sgs2 this afternoon and something strange I cannot figure out is when I sync up with my job's exchange server via activesync it is enforcing a security policy to have me use either a PIN or password lock screen. Before my sgs2 I had a sgs1 Epic 4G on Sprint and using the same connection method, I was never forced to have a password or PIN.
Any ideas?

Its a policy set from your exchange admin and your previous phone most likely did not have an updated email client that would enforce it but our GS2 will. If you search google there is a email.apk with no securities that bypasses this. Your phone will need to be rooted though for you to get it to work. Thats what I was using for a while until I mentioned this to my exchange admin and he removed the pin security restriction policy.

Thanks -- I may see if I can edit the email.apk file myself, as I don't want to lose the sgs2 email layout (split screen, folding dates, etc.). I used to use Enhanced Email on my E4G and I can't even use that on my SGS2 now. Weird.

In case anyone has the same issue, this .zip file attached to the OP worked perfect for me.

i just tried it and still the same error username or password incorrect !! is it because i have easy battery saver runnin in behind ???

I doubt the battery app is causing it. The only problem I had with exchange is that Comcast sometimes did not like my exchange servers.

On my exchange account, using the AOSP stock email app, I had to change the port from 440 to 80 for it to connect.

hmmm yeh i was also wondering about port no. also cuz in my dinc i had 143 as port no. though i was using imap( does that matter ) but on my cm10 09-06 it shows 443... anyways, i would make sure visit the tech service desk today

are you makin sure you set what ever the server name is as well. sometimes it doesnt auto find the server and that could cause it like mine is mail.*****.com

yea i put everything as it was suggested by our school; how to setup on Android phone.....somehow it just keep saying username or password incorrect

try manual setup with domain\username

You might need manual setup. See if you need to use the domain\username, password and then your mail.schooldomain.com server details.
you can also check the ActiveSync setup by going to - https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/

if his school is giving him android directions then as is deff setup. now what you say about the domain\ is very possible but i doubt it because i am using the same rom as him and administrate an exchange 2010 server which has more security reqs as far as stuff like that goes so other than a mistyped key idk what the problem for him could be unless they are requiring caps in username.

My guess would be that you're using server/username as opposed to server\username. Again, only a guess.

What about ssl? Do you have that checked? If your school requires it and you don't have it checked you might get that error.

I recently set up my S3 to access my company's Exchange server. I also had a hard time setting it up initially and had to do a manual setup.
Since you are getting both a username and password error first make sure that you are using the right exchange server address.
For me it is something like
exch2010.servername.com .
Next you should make sure that your user name is preceded by your domain name. In my case my server name and domain name are the same.
So it should look something like.
domain\username
Hope this helps.

Just to add on here. My server name and domain name are also the same however the trick that works for me is that i cannot put in my domain name prior to my username, if i do it will fail to connect. I do have to input the backslash prior to my username though or again it will fail to connect. Also is your IT dept using a security policy on the server side to control mobile device access to Activesync? I know from my own experience that if you use a security policy to prevent unprovisioned devices from accessing the Activesync account the user will see an "incorrect password error repeatedly, at least on some phones like the iPhone for instance.

is there anyway where i can download the ssl library ? i guess its something to do with it ... i give up trying on exchange, trying out on IMAP..but still gives error saying Can't safely connect to server.(javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: SSL handshake aborted: ssl=0x5c057350. Failure in SSL libary, usally a protocol error. error:140770FC
thnks

there has been a lot of good feedback and suggestion to resolving this issue ... and if none of this advice is working still... i'd nandroid (back it up), wipe it all, and go stock. after that if you're still having an issue then possibly their setup is not working

(Q) How How Do I Set Up Exchange Email?

I'm trying to set up my work email to my phone, it's a dot education, and no matter which way I try it comes up with an error.
If I try to set it up under exchange it tells me the protocols are wrong.
Of I try to set it up under normal email it tells me that the email address is wrong.
Is there something I'm missing because all of my coworkers have it set up (mostly iPhones) so I know it's possible.
Do I need a 3rd party app or some other method?

Grrrr I cant stand exchange. I work for sprint so alot of customers come in asking how to set it up. The thing is, in most cases, thats not something any carrier or manufacturer can answer; only your school and employer have the appropriate server setting at hand. If you have the proper information, and its still erroring, I would contact your schools tech department. Most teachers have access to someone who helps them set up their work email, so students shluld habe an equivalent.

transfer paid apps to new account

so i got an email from google today saying that someone tried to log in to my account from china. Obviously it couldnt be me, so i reported it and immediately changed my password and enabled two step verification. But still, i would rather stay on the safe side and use a completely new account. Normally i would do just that without a seconds though, but i have paid for apps with this account. so i was wondering if it would be possible to transfer those apps to a new account.

You need to email each developer for the paid apps. They will have you verify some things and get you the app on your new account.

Is it possible to bypass pin/security code in email app on stock rom?

Hi,
I'm trying to bypass the required pin/security code that my company's microsoft exchange email requires on a stock rom.
I installed the exchangen-no-pin hacked app that everyone uses on an AOSP rom, no problems.
But since I have decided that AOSP roms leave me with at least 1/3 less battery life than stock, I want to go back to stock. But I can't seem to get around the pin/security code policy b/c the hacked email apk doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?

Is google not working for you? A search with the keywords "exchange bypass" gives this as first result: http://repo.xposed.info/module/org.flacid.exchangebypass

I wish people like you would learn to research their answers before being rude to others. This Xposed mod does not work on Stock Rom. Is google not working for you?

Bypassing corporate security policies sounds like a good idea.

Use an email client such as Nine. That will allow you to satisfy the exchange server with an email app pin lock and wipe, instead of a device level admin lock and wipe.
Sent from my SGP512 using Tapatalk

Mailwise is another (free) email client that allows bypass exchange security if you enter a code you have to fetch from their website one time.
Although Nine is probably a better alternative because it does have the app level pin & wipe function rather than completely bypassing exchange security.

I can recommend NINE, it works great and their support is also pretty good, I received a reply almost instantly when I reported a minor bug and it was fixed within a day.

on stock, i don't think so. it is governed by the administrators of your email account. is it an exchange account?
