    <p>I have seen a lot of posts and information about SSL errors and I have stumbled upon one myself.</p> <p>I am trying to access a web page through Android WebView with a GlobalSign CA BE certificate, and I get a not-trusted error.</p> <p>For most phones, it works fine to handle this, and just tell the handler to proceed. </p> <p>Some phones, however, end up getting a onReceivedError in the webview-client, telling it that it can't establish contact with the server. This happens after it has gone through the onReceivedSslError and proceeded.</p> <p>I searched for descriptions and found a lot of descriptions involving HttpClient and either installing your own certificate or just tricking it into accepting all.</p> <p>However, since I was using WebView I thought I'd make use of WebView.setCertificate(SslCertificate crt) . I searched for discussions of this function, but did not find much/any info.</p> <p>I got a hold of the certificate that was said to be untrusted, and did this code:</p> <pre><code>try{ Certificate myCert = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X509"). generateCertificate(this.getResources(). openRawResource(R.raw.globalsign_ca_be)); X509Certificate x509 = (X509Certificate) myCert; SslCertificate sslCert = new SslCertificate(x509); webView.setCertificate(sslCert); } catch (CertificateException ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); } </code></pre> <p>With a .cer file containing this:</p> <p>-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEbjCCA1agAwIBAgILBAAAAAABElatYgQwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAwVzELMAkG A1UEBhMCQkUxGTAXBgNVBAoTEEdsb2JhbFNpZ24gbnYtc2ExEDAOBgNVBAsTB1Jv b3QgQ0ExGzAZBgNVBAMTEkdsb2JhbFNpZ24gUm9vdCBDQTAeFw0wNzA1MDQxMDAw MDBaFw0xNDAxMjcxMTAwMDBaMHExCzAJBgNVBAYTAkJFMR0wGwYDVQQLExREb21h aW4gVmFsaWRhdGlvbiBDQTEZMBcGA1UEChMQR2xvYmFsU2lnbiBudi1zYTEoMCYG A1UEAxMfR2xvYmFsU2lnbiBEb21haW4gVmFsaWRhdGlvbiBDQTCCASIwDQYJKoZI hvcNAQEBBQADggEPADCCAQoCggEBALSfSeaznwFVNtA2lWzLFlpscrXineL6OekK 3HNcoDt2bQUokw2lQvPoy+7TMxoTJwrfXNFUYmqaFzbWPFiHHrJmH1VpK4lWR7TC UAzlXcH9KRtmc0P0b9EUTyptSFI69eSQP96y9BDV+fqslg0QMiPS01GnlYVQ+g8p naeITg0xm0RBjkEvbpoatLalWfFJWQl+fknTaTNLAJLFG0Igafhk39inRNGQXv05 rWt9/tWLpAFk9qe0IITMBS8n7h7VJJauhEOkPkPzO5nX+fLePRnt0GXxScpI0jh9 xkjXcmG4xsJnCthlWv1b88X9voxpz5kgtursOYDpZqjuPZ1Ge4cCAwEAAaOCAR8w ggEbMA4GA1UdDwEB/wQEAwIBBjASBgNVHRMBAf8ECDAGAQH/AgEAMEsGA1UdIARE MEIwQAYJKwYBBAGgMgEKMDMwMQYIKwYBBQUHAgEWJWh0dHA6Ly93d3cuZ2xvYmFs c2lnbi5uZXQvcmVwb3NpdG9yeS8wHQYDVR0OBBYEFDYSTp5xxCZB8frxKUy/F6RT KLbrMDMGA1UdHwQsMCowKKAmoCSGImh0dHA6Ly9jcmwuZ2xvYmFsc2lnbi5uZXQv cm9vdC5jcmwwEQYJYIZIAYb4QgEBBAQDAgIEMCAGA1UdJQQZMBcGCisGAQQBgjcK AwMGCWCGSAGG+EIEATAfBgNVHSMEGDAWgBRge2YaRQ2XyolQL30EzTSo//z9SzAN BgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFAAOCAQEAwyV5SvrNJm9AariUG+ag4WvSMZo/ifvFCiJ1ev27 QDScvJ6FSVl6lcwNLUQLx8sVEB7S3ON46l/1NVGmyD85kBWeXxXJt49da2OZaOFu XPydNzMKrodwSqLjqyZ9cwfk9wqqdY+m7psE0QVDdBq61MKdf7egbO0WmmdAVquD n0yc6yg0H43mWg9pQNmpnmr5iX/Q+IyzSC4LT/H5z/UOEQIMiRZzU10s0+/eXwsl utVOj4WQP4iTeaUgrP+wisvLpVV4gzlBMqpdJZOn6u4YcrXiHX8IdBG2ASdOls+o 8Cr5UqwkGhmen2xSfIs6plTewcchfTrTvBqobfK/33bKAw== -----END CERTIFICATE-----</p> <p>It completed without exception, but I still got the same behaviour from my webview. First an SSL-error and then an error saying it could not communicate/load the page.</p> <p>If anyone has some info, has been able to get SSL working properly in WebView, or even just help in ways to debug this. I would greatly appreciate it.</p> <p>My head is also exploding a bit, because I'm not very experienced in SSL to begin with.</p> <p>*it's a public key btw, nothing exciting ;) (GlobalSign CA BE)</p> <p>some more info: the ssl exception: primary error: 3 certificate: Issued to: CN=GlobalSign Domain Validation CA,O=GlobalSign nv-sa,OU=Domain Validation CA,C=BE;</p> <p>Issued by: CN=GlobalSign Root CA,OU=Root CA,O=GlobalSign nv-sa,C=BE;</p> <p>error 3 is , SSL_UNTRUSTED</p> <p>I do however have a feeling that the setCertificate function, is not to add a trusted certificate for a missing root or similar, but instead to add a client certificate to identify with a server expecting one. Would be good with some more info on this function though, it seems a bit undocumented.</p> <p>I got the CA through running confied.payex.com:443 through a site called ssltest.net and downloading the cert from there.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
