Those of you who were at my
Adapt Your App: Working with Windows Mobile Security webcast last week may recall that I mentioned a soon-to-be-released tool, Device Security Manager, that enables you to understand and test just how your Windows Mobile app behaves under various security configurations.
- Display the current security settings of an ActiveSync connected device or emulator
- Display the installed certificates of an ActiveSync connected device or emulator
- Display the security settings associated with common security configurations
- Provision an ActiveSync connected device (as long as the carrier hasn't locked it down) or emulator with the desired security settings
I really recommend integrating this utility into your regular development/testing cycle so that you can see the impacts of various security configurations on your application throughout the process rather then at the end when something suddenly breaks.

last week's webcast which was dedicated to just this topic.
