Hello,

I've read that .NET Compact Framework 2.0 does not support client-side
authentication using X509 certificates. Do you know any third party solution
which allows to use a PFX certificate for client authentication?

Second question - I've seen that Compact Framework 3.5 enables to implement
client side x509 authentication - HttpWebRequest class exposes
ClientCertificates property. When this will be availiable to mobile devices?
When are you planning to move from beta1 to the final release?


Best regards

NSoftware have a third party solution which is working. IPWorks SSL for
Compact Framework, I think. I've been using their solution for 2 years, no
problems.

The Compact Framework 3.5 is already released. I got it when I installed
Visual Studio 2008 RTM. I cannot find as a separate download though.

The Compact Framework is for mobile devices.

Yes, my mistake but afaik official release date is 27 february 2008. Do you
know where can I find list of devices which support CF 3.5?

I think there is no list of devices. It is probably depending on the
operating system on the device. I notised that the Cab file for 3.5 is 50 %
bigger than for 2.0, so I guess alot is included compared to 2.0

I haven't tested it yet.
