Doesn't work with self-signed certificates about app HOT 18 CLOSED

Attached is a version of the app implementing this.
I don't have time to set up my vikunja instance with a self-signed cert so please try it and tell me if it works.
I know some other parts of the app are buggy right now. That's because I had to switch libraries, and the new one is doing weird stuff. A dedicated release will be available once everything is back to normal.

can confirm it's working now. Thank you!

from app.

Can confirm that, having the same issue.

@Benimautner Should this be fixed in the app or should it work if users import the certificate into android's ca store?

from app.

I don't like the idea of importing (temporary) self-signed certificates in the Android CA ...

from app.

This should probably be fixed in the app. Maybe by importing the cert directly or by only showing a warning if an untrusted certificate is used. I like the first one better, the second one seems very insecure.

I was AFK for the last couple of days so excuse my late response. I will take a look at it in the coming days.

from app.

Some common solution seems to be an option in the settings "dont verify certificates"

from app.

@Benimautner, maybe I miss something, but I have to log in first to be able to change options. Right now I still can't log in.

@kdrobnyh True, my mistake. Here you go.

@Benimautner, "HttpException: Content size exceeds specified contentLength. 4 bytes written while expected 0. [null]". Do you have any idea what can cause this? Also, "login with frontend" just freezes with a white screen.

from app.

Strange. I had the exact same error message on first try, second try worked wothout an error. Thought it was my mobile phone fooling around...

from app.

This is a bug which occurs when two requests happen too close to each other, as discovered by @k9withabone. This needs a fix asap, but we need to think about possible solutions first.

from app.

So the temporary workaround is to retry the request every time it fails. This will be fixed in a later release, but as self-signed certs are supported in the newest version, I will close this issue. Feel free to reopen it if you need anything else.

from app.

Hi!
I am currently trying to fix the issue where the app does not load every request properly. I have not been able to set up a test instance with a self-signed cert, so it'd be great if you could test whether this still works in the new fix. For that, please download the APK from this comment.

Thanks in advance!

Still have HandshakeException: Handshake error in client (OS Error: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED: unable to get local issuer certificate (handshake.cc:393)). It happens with and without ignore certificates checked.

from app.

I think I finally figured it out. I set up my own self-signed cert to debug with, and it works for me. Just one last round of feedback before I create a release would be great.

Looks like the app works now, thanks!
