SSL client certificate authentication

Open tobihagemann opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Currently, we only support server trust authentication, see NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust. Client certification authentication is missing, see NSURLAuthenticationMethodClientCertificate.

I've looked into this and I didn't know what I was getting into.

There is some sample code available: AdvancedURLConnections in the class ClientIdentityChallengeHandler.

What I didn't know was that you have to manage your own identities, as described in the Technical Q&A QA1745 "Making Certificates and Keys Available To Your App".

Currently, there is no way for me to implement this properly. We have to postpone this enhancement for a future release.
