Just got the WordPress iPhone app, but it won’t let me register my uni blog because of an “untrustworthy server certificate”.
Sigh..
I get this message all the time when I log on to my blog ( and on to Blackboard). It’s irritating, but you can just override it.
Can’t seem to do this on the iPhone, though.
Any ideas?
This is because of the UoL blogs using an invalid SSL certificate (perhaps not invalid, just out of date).
Best bet would be to let Joss Winn know of this problem!
Hope this helps.
In a month or so I’ll be moving the blogs to a dedicated server with its own SSL certificate and the irritating warning will go away. It pains me as much as you. Technically, its because, for good reason, you can’t use the same certificate for multiple domains and the certificate is for the learninglab.lincoln.ac.uk domain.
Oh, yeah. I meant to say that the iPhone app used to work on the blogs here ok, but they must be doing more security checks in the latest version. It’s open source software so as a good citizen you should contact the people developing it and ask them to provide a pop up which allows you to accept the certificate! 😉
