## How to access code-server with a self signed certificate on iPad?
|
2020-10-30 08:48:51 +00:00

|
Accessing a self signed certificate on iPad isn't as easy as accepting through all
|
|
|
|
|
the security warnings. Safari will prevent WebSocket connections unless the certificate
|
|
|
|
|
is installed as a profile on the device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The below assumes you are using the self signed certificate that code-server
|
|
|
|
|
generates for you. If not, that's fine but you'll have to make sure your certificate
|
|
|
|
|
abides by the following guidelines from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210176
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**note**: Another undocumented requirement we noticed is that the certificate has to have `basicConstraints=CA:true`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following instructions assume you have code-server installed and running
|
|
|
|
|
with a self signed certificate. If not, please first go through [./guide.md](./guide.md)!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**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
|
|
|
|
|
refuse to allow WebSockets to connect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Your certificate **must** have a subject alt name that matches the hostname
|
|
|
|
|
at which you will access code-server from your iPad. You can pass this to code-server
|
|
|
|
|
so that it generates the certificate correctly with `--cert-host`.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Share your self signed certificate with the iPad.
|
|
|
|
|
- code-server will print the location of the certificate it has generated in the logs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
[2020-10-30T08:55:45.139Z] info - Using generated certificate and key for HTTPS: ~/.local/share/code-server/mymbp_local.crt
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You can mail it to yourself or if you have a Mac, it's easiest to just Airdrop to the iPad.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. When opening the `*.crt` file, you'll be prompted to go into settings to install.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Go to `Settings -> General -> Profile`, select the profile and then hit `Install`.
|
|
|
|
|
- It should say the profile is verified.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Go to `Settings -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings` and enable full trust for
|
|
|
|
|
the certificate.
|
|
|
|
|
6. Now you can access code-server! 🍻
