A certificate from an ubuntu server should also work if it exports to pfx as well. In my case, my certificate was from a server 2003. I will keep a server 2003 in a virtual environment handy just to issue new SSL certificates.

UPDATE: after a power failure I realized I had come across a problem where my server was stuck at “applying settings” apparently there’s a problem with installing ssl certificates on server 2008 resulting in some services entering into a deadlock. google for the http.sys fix. it’s a simple registry to work around the problem. As well another source of “applying settings” hanging stemmed from me turning off IPv6 thinking I didn’t need it. Yes, you do. At least in my situation with AD&Exchange environment.

on local do:

ssh-keygen -t rsa



cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@destination.server.local -p 22 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'


finally test:

ssh destination.server.local -p 22


svn co http://your/svn SOME_LOCAL_DIR --depth immediates

goto the directory you want and then run the following to retrieve those contents

svn update --set-depth immediates

do this as many times to get to the intended folder you want. and svn commit will just deal with only those folders you’ve checked out.

or execute the following to checkout everything below the current folder.
svn update --set-depth infinity

I was able to get this running reasonably well in a virtual environment running Ubuntu. Probably will have less compression issues and sound clipping out if it was run from a physical box.

apt-get install asterisk

vim /etc/asterisk/sip.conf
add the following:

[common](!)
type=friend
context=default
host=dynamic
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=g723
allow=g729
dtmfmode=rfc2833

[employee](common)
username=guest
secret=SOMEPASSWORD

you may also consider changing the port (default is 5060) while you’re at it. look for the line:
udpbindaddr=0.0.0.0

Next set up Conference Room
vim /etc/asterisk/meetme.conf
uncomment or add the following after “[rooms]“:
conf => 1234

Next set up an Extension to direct to the conference room:
vim /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
uncomment or add the following after “[default]“:

exten => 8600,1,Meetme(1234)

We now need to start asterisk if it hasn’t started already
asterisk

In order to interact with asterisk we need to bring up the console
asterisk -r

Here we can issue a reload command
reload

Finally all you need to do now is to connect to the server using any sip/voip dialer. I recommend linphone for android and iphone and windows. for OSX you can use telephone which is found free on the app market. Currently there are no free dialers on Windows Phone =(.
your connection information should be:

server:YOURASTERISKIP
username:guest
password:SOMEPASSWORD

If you changed the port you’ll need to try altering the server name to YOURASTERISKIP:SOMEPORTNUM if the dialer doesn’t ask for one. Don’t forget if you are trying this remotely, there is no guarantee the coffee shop or your home internet provider will have port 5060 open.

Once connected, simply dial 8600 and you’re in the conference by yourself! you can use the same account information on another device to test a 2 person conference. I haven’t found any major issues with conference calls of 4.

From here, we can set up outgoing and incoming voip account/phone numbers including gmail voice! Security should be addressed next because the sip port can be easily bruteforced.

First off the hardware is great. The screen’s beautiful (AMOLED), battery life is typical, with only the memory card (perminant) pairing being the only issue.

The OS however feels lacking. Windows Phone works. There’s nothing wrong with it, hasn’t locked up on me nor had any major issues to point at. The real negatives is what the OS doesn’t have off the get go. No native msn messenger. No Remote Desktop Client. No SIP Dialer. For me, I have come from an Iphone where all those were possible. Upon research on implementing my own alternatives I found out the primary reason why nobody has bothered to release a proper messenger,RDP,SIP dialer, the os currently only provides http/https communication. no udp/tcp packets are possible for the applications to utilize. This seems consistent with what’s offered on the OS, facebooking,office,skydrive and emailing all likely done through HTTP/HTTPS (WebDAV). Youtube being the unconventional and offering only a mobile browser site that links to their streaming friendly video clips that likely runs off Windows Phone’s media player.

If you don’t ask alot out of your phone then windows phone fits the bill. I can see why MS took the stance of marketing the device as a glance and forget phone promoting people to minimize their time spent on the phone.

you’ll need autossh and screen installed but the jist of the command you want is:

/usr/lib/autossh/autossh -i /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa username@servername.local -L 25:servername.local:25 -g -N

with this command your server will auto reconnect and keep the connection open indefinitely. as you can see from the example above, port 25 and other lower ports will require root user access.
