Hi Sindre,
I was wondering if you could implement a way for the android client to accept self signed certificates? I don't know if its possible but i thought that i would ask.

When i try to use one i get the following error.

Code: Select all

09-26 03:02:53.082  4482  7948 W RESTMusicService: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Not trusted server certificate

Thanks for this wonderful product.... I don't know how i ever survived with out it.

I'd like to echo this request - ability to use self-signed certificates would be great.

I've actually tried looking into creating a patch myself but time, no android programming experience and rusty programming skills is meaning the progress is slow going.

found a few good articles through google - and some custom classes which could be allow this.

If you have rooted your phone, you can follow these instructions on adding your self-signed cert to the system keystore.

If you're not sure how to add your self-signed cert to a java keystore, you can follow the first two steps here:

That said, having the ability to add a keystore to the /subsonic/ folder as a non root user would be great; the ability to click "temporarily accept" or "permanently accept" upon server setup would be even better.

Self-signed certs are supported in version 1.8.2

Cheers,
Sindre

Your the best Sindre...

Anyone who's wanting to encrypt your connection to subsonic i created a tutorial on how to self sign your own certificates in windows.

and its awesome.. I love that I now have the ability to SECURELY stream my music collection to my Phone. Thanks Sindre.

Awesome! I was trying 1.8.1 from the SourceForge download instead of using the latest (now 1.8.3) from the Market.

Streaming works great over HTTPS using a self-signed cert. Thanks again Sindre for a great product (server and app)!
