I just downloaded the latest version of xCode (9.0 beta (9M136h)).
However, when I try to make a request to my server in iOS 11 simulator (Using NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest), an error is received:
NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9807)
NSURLConnection finished with error - code -1202
NSError object contains the message - #"NSLocalizedDescription" : #"The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “***” which could put your confidential information at risk."
The plist contains:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
so it is not the problem in this case (I guess)
Needless to say that it is working in iOS 10/9/8
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
You need to allow your application to run HTTP (no S) connections. By default, Apple only allows HTTPS:
go to your info.plist
then press the plus icon on any of them
Search for "App Transport Security Settings"
click the little arrow to the left and find "Allow arbitrary loads", by default it is set to "NO" change it to "YES"
For all of you who get this error in iOS 11, please make sure you're working against valid (secured) certificate in your server.
In our case, the certificate wasn't strict enough.
Once our server guy integrated new valid certificate, the problem has gone.
One way to check if the certificate is secured, is to past the problematic link in the browser.
As a result, you might see that the connection is not secured:
Since you've got an invalid certificate error, I'll make the following suggestion based on my personal security practice.
If you're still in your servicing terms with your CA, ask them to issue a new valid certificate for you.
Check your Keychain setting and make sure no CA cert is missing.
Alternatively, you can issue your own self-signed certificate for testing purposes, and add it to your local Keychain as trust anchor. A search for "how to create self-signed x509 certificate" will return something you might find useful.

I'm creating a VS Code extension with a webview that contains a React application. In the React code, I'm making a GET request to a REST API, but it keeps failing due to the following error:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
Any ideas on why this may be happening or a workaround? Maybe this is a restriction of webviews?
If I make the call in the extension code, it works fine.
I upgrade the version of my browser to the latest and it worked me.
find this below given link to know how to update browser version.

Assuming that you get this error about the certificate of the remote side (the one serving the REST API), you get this error because of one of the following:
the authority that signed the certificate is not recognized on the client side (ie : the authority is not installed on your PC)
the certificate has expired
your PC has a wrong date
You can correct the above, or as a workaround you can (depending on your tools) explicitly ignore the untrusted remote certificate. But this workaround should remain for test purpose only, as it is a security breach.
I am working on an Angular project on a SharePoint 2013 site. When using the console window in IE 11, I see 75 warnings like this:
SEC7132: The certificate protecting this web site uses weak cryptography,
SHA1. The web site should replace this certificate with a SHA2 certificate
before SHA1 is no longer allowed.
Now, please accept the premise that I have no control over my admins and I cannot force them to fix the certificate. I can't make the SOURCE of this warning go away.
I know I can disable showing all warnings. But I can't assume that my code will only generate errors, I will still have some warnings I want to see. How can I suppress a specific warning in the console?
You cannot. It has nothing to do with your code. It is Internet Explorer telling you on each request that the web server certificate using for the SharePoint zone you are hitting (IIS website) is using an obsolete and insecure algorithm. So best thing you can do, is make your admins aware they have some work to do :)

I am not able to connect to https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token form SoapUI (ver 5.2.1). I have tried the PRO version and other older versions (4.6.xx) as well.
I can access the website from the web-browser. The GET to this URL gives me the response where as SOAPUI says HttpHostConnectException connection to https://test.salesforce.com/ refused.
I have checked that there is direct connection available from my PC to this address. I have tried adding https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort settings in soapui.vmoptions and sopaui.bat but of no use.
I have also tried playing around with Preemptive Authentication settings in SOAPUI without success
My organization has firewall which has white listed this address. I have also confirmed that firewall settings does allow to connect thru non standard clients (such as ApacheHttpClient).
If I use a Java Program using URLConnection using the proxy, it works.
At this point it seems to me that SOAPUI is not honoring the proxy settings.
Please share if anyone has similar experience and how did they resolve it.

When trying to sign in using the button in the lower left corner of the screen, I am unable to do so because it needs a verification code. However, I am not offered the chance to receive one, it only brings me directly to the "allow this application page." The exact error in the log is
Could not sign in. Make sure that you entered the correct verification code.
Thanks for your help in advance.
I had the same issue, resolved by changing network settings as follows:
In Eclipse:
Preferences > General > Network Connections
Set Active Provider to Manual
Under Proxy entries, edit the HTTPS proxy, adding host and port info
Check "Requires authentication" and add your network ID and password
I had a similar problem on my Mac OS X.
However, after upgrading my JDK from 1.6 to 1.7 my problems disappeared.(Note: JDK not JRE)
The default java on Mac 10.x is Java SE 6 and you can't uninstall it. You can add Java 1.7 or higher and your system should automatically pick up the later version -you can check from the terminal with
$java -version
I'm working on a Windows Phone 7 application that makes a REST service call. The third party that hosts the web services has an invalid certificate in the current environment. When I hit the URL in Firefox, I get a warning about the cert and I am asked if I want to continue. I'm also using the Poster FF extension to test the call. It works with Poster if I first accept the invalid cert in Firefox. If I don't, then POSTER wont make the request.
In my WP7 Emulator, I can't make the request at all. I get a 404 at the EndGetResponse method. I making the same request as in Poster, so I know there is nothing wrong with the request. I have successfully hit another web service using the same code (no certs involved), so I don't think it's the code. The only thing I can think of is that WP7 doesn't allow requests to an invalid cert. Has anyone had experience with this situation? Is there any way around it?
Is there a way I can tell my app to accept all communication, even if there is an invalid cert?
There is sadly no way to do this on the phone. Ordinarily, i.e. on the desktop this simple line of code will disable certificate checking.
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (se, cert, chain, sslError) => { return true; };
If you look at the ServicePointManager on the phone, there's no callback to hook into. It's a massive pain in the arrrrse.
Have you considered writing to the service owner and asking why they're being bad internet citizens? (essentially, what you're seeing here is web security in action, for better or worse)
As Matt says, you might be able to code a simple relay on a web server. It doesn't have to be a special service, but maybe just a web page that does the call for you and spits out RAW text or XML. Your phone client just GETs this page and picks through the response manually.
Where there's a will there's a way.

You need to install the root CA cert of the issuing party on the phone.
You can do this by emailing the RootCA to the user of the phone. They click on the attachement and it will prompt them to ask if they want to install the certificate on the phone.
Once you have done that your requests should go through.
I dont believe there is a way to do this programatically in your app however.
I'm not aware of a way to install additional certificates on the phone.
In this situation I'd create a proxy service between your app and the 3rd party site and have your app call that. If you need to, you could put the proxy behind a valid cert.
