Implementation av Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync mot en molntjänst

This report describes a bachelor thesis work performed at the cloud storage company CloudMe in Linköping, Sweden. The storage service provided by CloudMe allows users to access their files seamlessly from multiple units at the same time. In the cloud there is storage provided for contacts, calendar and e-mail, which is data nowadays normally used by smart phones.Exchange ActiveSync is a protocol developed by Microsoft which, among much more, provides functionality to synchronize the previously described data. This protocol is supported by the smart phone developers and the ability to synchronize over the exchange protocol is implemented in products by default. Due to this fact it would be preferable to implement support for synchronization from CloudMe to phones over this protocol. Therefore a decision was made to create a proxy server which handles communication with clients (smart phones) over Exchange ActiveSync and talks with CloudMes SOAP-based open API to extract the needed data. With the help of this server a user would be able to synchronize the described data between different phones and tablets, independently of label and model and would never have to worry about loss of data.The purpose of this bachelor thesis work was therefore to design and implement such a proxy server, so that clients would be able to connect, through the standard support for exchange in smart phones,and synchronize data between phones and the cloud. The report describes the methods used when designing the project and also the problems that occurred during the process
