## Access code-server with a self-signed certificate on an iPad
If you've installed code-server and are [running it with a self-signed
certificate](./guide.md#using-a-self-signed-certificate), you may see multiple
security warnings from Safari. To fix this, you'll need to install the
self-signed certificate generated by code-server as a profile on your device (you'll also need to do this to
enable WebSocket connections).
### Certificate requirements
- We're assuming that you're using the self-signed certificate code-server
generates for you (if not, make sure that your certificate [abides by the
guidelines issued by Apple](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210176)).
- We've noticed that the certificate has to include `basicConstraints=CA:true`.
- Your certificate must have a subject alt name that matches the hostname you'll
use to access code-server from the iPad. You can pass this name to code-server
so that it generates the certificate correctly using `--cert-host`.
### Sharing a self-signed certificate with an iPad
To share a self-signed certificate with an iPad:
1. Get the location of the certificate code-server generated; code-server prints
the certificate's location in its logs:
```console
[2020-10-30T08:55:45.139Z] info - Using generated certificate and key for HTTPS: ~/.local/share/code-server/mymbp_local.crt
```
2. Send the certificate to the iPad, either by emailing it to yourself or using
Apple's Airdrop feature.
3. Open the `*.crt` file so that you're prompted to go into Settings to install.
4. Go to **Settings** > **General** > **Profile**, and select the profile. Tap **Install**.
5. Go to **Settings** > **About** > **Certificate Trust Settings** and [enable
full trust for your certificate](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204477).
You should be able to access code-server without all of Safari's warnings now.
**warning**: Your iPad must access code-server via a domain name. It could be local
DNS like `mymacbookpro.local`, but it must be a domain name. Otherwise, Safari will
not allow WebSockets connections.
