Ignoring certificate errors with NSURLConnection

Question

I am getting this error

The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server
that is pretending to be \"server addres goes here\"         


        

Answer 1

I had similar issue. Got it solved by using below code snippet :

-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection willSendRequestForAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge {

    NSLog(@"This will execute successfully!");
    if ([[challenge protectionSpace] authenticationMethod] == NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust) {

        [[challenge sender] useCredential:[NSURLCredential credentialForTrust:[[challenge protectionSpace] serverTrust]] forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
    }
}

Since below methods are deprecated :

- (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)space { ... }

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge { ... }
