Certificate Services configuration

[Rick]

I am sutting up a MS Mobile Information Server for remote
users to retreive email.
Part of the setup involves Cert. Srv's. I setup an Ent.
Cert. Srv. and purchased a CA from one of the org.'s that
MS listed as compatable with MIS. I installed the root CA
on the Ent. Srv.
I then installed a Subordinant CA srv. on the MIS box and
used this to create a CA to give to the users.
I setup a Routing and Remote Access srv. with Cert. Srv.
and installed the cert. from the MIS box. I installed the
cert. on the iPAQ I was using as a remote wireless devices
and tried to connect with an L2TP protocal.

When I tried to connect I received a cert. not found error.
I called the cert. provider and was informed that the
cert. I bought was for Websites and would not work with a
VPN connection. I a new to Cert. Srv.'s and did not
understand there was a difference.

I have not been able to find a provider of wireless VPN
cert.'s.

Do I need a different type of CA for wireless VPN?
If so, does anyone know where I can get this type of CA
and what the cost should be?

Thanks, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Do you install as a standalone subordinate CA or a enterprise subordinate
CA?
