Subsonic Forum

It would be great if I could override this error when connecting to my home server from the Android client with SSL:

"Error: Connection failure. Not trusted server certificate."

It's not trusted because I generated the certificate myself and I'm connecting to a static IP address and not a domain.

The Subsonic Android client is more demanding than the Android web browser, which warns the certificate is untrusted by lets me connect to my Subsonic server anyway.

Until there's a fix, I think Android + SSL is impossible without maintaining an actual DNS name for your server.

This would be nice. External players also seem to have an issue with untrusted certificates (e.g., VLC), but that's another issue altogether.

Agreed, it would be awesome if the android app could support untrusted certificates.

Just so we're clear, it's the fact that it's a self-signed cert (and hence NOT signed by an external trusted certificate authority) that's the root issue in the app. Having a self-signed cert for your server with a DNS name isn't enough.

This was also a problem in the original android email app, which has since been addressed both in the app and in the K-9 email app.
