Using Exchange ActiveSync, users can access their Exchange mailboxes from Microsoft Windows Mobile®-based devices, such as Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PC, including Pocket PC Phone Edition, and Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Smartphone with high levels of security. Users can then synchronize the e-mail messages, appointments, contact information, and tasks in their mailboxes and use any of this information when the mobile device is offline.
When using Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010, you can authenticate an ActiveSync connection using client certificate-based authentication. Forefront TMG supports Kerberos constrained delegation, which allows Forefront TMG to authenticate a client connection with a client certificate and to obtain a Kerberos ticket. This ticket can be presented to the published Web server, which accepts the Kerberos ticket instead of client credentials.
