Self signed CA with FTP

Post by Bugware » 12 Oct 2018 15:22

Hello,

I'm using a self-signed CA plus issued certificates. I have installed the public CA certificate in Android 7 and using chrome ro view a web page with a certificate issued by this CA running on the same ip is shown as being secure. Also an file manager app (Dateimanager +) has access by FTPS. So in principle it seems to be running fine.

Unfortunately, the FTP actions fail with a certificate error. What could be wrong? Did anyone use a CA certificate with FTP already? Are the FTP actions using similar (android api) functions to check security or is it some special code in Automagic?

Thanks and best regards,
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for reporting! It seems that there was a change in Android so that apps do not trust user added CAs by default anymore: https://android-developers.googleblog.c ... icate.html
I missed this change but will include the necessary changes to fix it. Would be great if yo can test the next EAP build to see if this really resolves your issue.

Regards,
Martin

Hi Andreas,

The new build is available in the EAP forum: Re: EAP version 1.36.0-dev
I hope this fixes the issue.
