    <p>We´re developing a HTTP-streaming iOS app that requires us to receive playlists from a secured site. This site requires us to authenticate using a self signed SSL certificate.</p> <p>We read the credentials from a .p12 file before we use NSURLConnection with a delegate to react to the authorization challenge. </p> <pre><code>- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge { [[challenge sender] useCredential: self.credentials forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge]; } - (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace { return YES; } </code></pre> <p>By doing this initial connection to the URL where we´re getting the .m3u8 playlist we´re able to play back the playlist using AVPlayer. The problem is that this method only works in the simulator.</p> <p>NOTE: We´re able to download the playlist using the NSURLConnection on device. This must mean that the AVPlayer somehow can´t continue using the trust established during this initial connection.</p> <p>We have also tried adding the credentials to the [NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage] without any luck.</p> <p>Below follows our shotgun approach for that:</p> <pre><code>NSURLProtectionSpace *protectionSpace = [[NSURLProtectionSpace alloc] initWithHost:host port:443 protocol:@"https" realm:nil authenticationMethod:NSURLAuthenticationMethodClientCertificate]; [[NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage] setDefaultCredential:creds forProtectionSpace:protectionSpace]; NSURLProtectionSpace *protectionSpace2 = [[NSURLProtectionSpace alloc] initWithHost:host port:443 protocol:@"https" realm:nil authenticationMethod:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust]; [[NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage] setDefaultCredential:creds forProtectionSpace:protectionSpace2]; </code></pre> <p>EDIT: According to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4164846/nsurlcredentialstorage-and-client-certificate-authentication">this question</a>: the above method doesn´t work with certificates.</p> <p>Any hint to why it doesn´t work on device, or an alternate solution is welcome!</p>

    1. COAccording to this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4164846/nsurlcredentialstorage-and-client-certificate-authentication NSURLCredentialStorage doesn´t work for certificates. I guess that´s still the case then.

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).
