iPhone: WebDav not working for custom service

gweilo

Hello,

I try to connect to Boxcryptor which via WebDav (HTTPS) which is stored on my personal NAS. I get the message "Fehler: Das Zertifikat für diesen Server ist ungültig. Eventuell werden Sie mit einem Sever verbunden, der vorgibt, 'abc.hopto.org' zu sein, un ihre vertraulichen Daten zu gefährden".

If I press "OK", I stay on the configuration dialog and the login doesn't proceed.

What is the solution to this bug? Using HTTP instead of HTTPS is not an option and signing a personal NAS with an official certificat neither. So it must be possible to ignore this message and proceed with access my NAS. How can I do this?

Kind Regards
Gweilo

Hello Gweilo,

WebDAV over SSL in BoxCryptor for iOS currently works only for valid SSL certificates signed by a known certificate authority. I assume you are using a self-signed certificate which does not pass the certificate validation of iOS. We will include the ability to explicitly allow invalid SSL certificates in one of the next versions.

Robert The issue really is that it doesn’t recognize valid certificates as valid. This is certainly the case for ios - cant comment on all platforms. Unless you view LetsEncrypt as an invalid certificate.

meanwhile you can get a valid SSL cert from https://www.startssl.com
The 1-year version is free.
