IOS4, apple-mobile-web-app-capable and client certificates

IOS4 (4.0 and 4.0.1) seems to have broken apple-mobile-web-app-capable. I have a webbapplication using client certificates to authenticate the user. This worked flawless on IOS3.x. However, after having upgraded my iPhone to IOS4, the application fails when started from the springboard with an error message telling a client certificate is required (I have one installed). When I start the application from within Safari it works OK. I tracked the error down to the following line in the HTML code:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
When I remove this line, the application works again flawless when started from the springboard. However the native look and feel are gone. As soon as I add this line to the HTML, the application works when started from Safari, but fails when started from the springboard.
Does anyone have a glue or is this a bug on the apple-mobile-web-app-capable function of IOS4?

I have also experienced this problem on iOS 4.1. I want to authenticate access to a web-app using SSL client certificates but I get an error "Cannot Open ... requires a client certificate" when launching the app from the home screen. Very annoying!
Navigating to the page in Safafi prompts the user to choose which certificate to use and then loads the page successfully. Just as a side question, is there anyway to automatically associate a client certificate with a web site so that the user is never prompted to choose a certificate when accessing the site? I want an authentication process that is transparent to the user.

How can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling custom WOPI host?

I am getting an error when I testing my wopi host(which is the same as
example) with Office Web app server "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word."
1-how can find the log files of this error?
2-how can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling my WOPI host?
I am not sure about cumunication between owa to wopi host. I actually dont know how to implement checkfile and getfile functions to wopi host for waiting for call back from owa client.
Note:I am sure that office web app server is configured true. Because i test it with sharepoint 2013 and editing and viewing is working well.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that
CheckFileInfo is how the WOPI application gets information about the file and the permissions a user has on the file. It should have a URL that looks like this:
HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>?access_token=<token>
While CheckFileInfo provides information about a file, GetFile returns the file itself. It should have a URL that looks like this:
HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>/contents?access_token=<token>
There is a great article for your reference.

Missing mobile web app on reality

I just took over my mom's samsung reality. went to the store and had the number changed, etc.
when i try to get on the mobile web app, it simply says "no application." when i go to the "get it now" to download it like the verizon page says to, it can't find any mobile web app.
I know my mom had the app before she gave me the phone and used it a little bit. i don't understand why i can't access it. help please! i need mobile access to my email!!

It seems it may have been deleted in a system error. A hard reset should resolve this. The steps for this are listed below:
-From the standby screen, press Menu
-Press Settings & Tools
-Press Phone Settings (7)
-Press Security (8)
-Enter the lock code, default password is the last 4 digits of Cell phone number
1. Do software reset: Press Reset Settings (6)
-Press Yes to confirm resetting the handset to factory default settings
-The phone will now restart
2. Do hard reset: Press Restore Phone (5)
Press Yes to confirm resetting the handset to factory default settings
Press OK at the reprogram prompt
Enter the lock code, default password is the last 4 digits of cell phone number
Note: Press *228 and SEND after the power cycle to re-program the phone

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until 10/2014.

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until October 2014. I contacted the IRA account managment company and they sais it's an Apple issue. Any ideas?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

Hi Tatilopez86,
If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may want to try the steps in the following articles:

I cant install itunes it keeps on saying "service apple mobile failed to start" and i keep on reinstalling it but that keeps on coming up

i cant install itunes it keeps on saying "service apple mobile failed to start" and i keep on reinstalling itunes but i keep on getting the message.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Greetings chaimba216,
After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
iCloud: Change your iCloud password
Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Web services and client certificates

Hello,
Is there a way to invoke a web service that sits on a web
server that requires client certificate authentication. Like in
Coldfusion 8 you can pass the client cert along with the cfhttp
call. We're running into the problem of calling the page that
invokes the web service, then the invoke fails because that's a
call to a URL that is protected. Anyone know how to do this, or a
good work around?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the reply! I'm no expert either, that's why I'm
here!
Yes, the certificate for the server is loaded. I'm doing this
all on one machine, so I just loaded it's own server certificate
into the trust store. The problem is the server is protected by
client authentication via certificates. I guess I'm relating this
to a regular request, where if you have a server that requires
certificates, you can pass along the cert in an CFHTTP call with
clientCert parameter. Here we are calling a page that invokes the
web service which is really another request. This is where the
issue is, since I don't see how to send along the certificate
information in the invoke call.
Thanks for the help!

JDBC Thin Connections with SSL and client certificates

Hi ,
we are going have a look at JDBC Thin Connections with SSL and client certificates.
I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to use SSL connections from JDBC Thin Driver and which release of the driver introduced it
2. Is it possible to use client certificates with JDBC Thin Driver and which release of the driver introduced it
Thanks for your help
regards
Markus Reichert

I could not reproduce the error after appending the SSL certificate to the certdb.txt file available under $Jinitiator_Home/lib/security folder.
Steps to add the SSL Certificate:
1. Run the form with the https mode in the IE Browser.
2. Security Alert is raised.
3. Click on the View Certificate button.
4. In the Certificate Window, click on the Details tab.
5. Click on the Copy to File button to copy the certificate.
6. Copy the certificate and append to the certdb.txt file.

HT5262 I have my iPad 2 connected to my computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalledn iTunes. I have checked to be sure that I have Apple Mobile devices app on my computer. I am still unable to update my iPad 2.

I have repeatedly attempted to update my ipad 2 through itunes on my windows 7 pc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I have checked to verify that I have Apple Mobile devices downloaded. What else can I do to update my device?

Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
https://appleid.apple.com
if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer.

IOS4 update = lost contacts, apps crash and cannot sync my music need help

I like many had no problems with updating in the past. I even enjoyed the days off an update just to get to grips with new features. This experience has been abolished with the IOS4. I’ve had my 3G for just over a year (just). I came to update to the IOS4. The update took a long time but I got there in the end. However when iTunes sync came into play is where Im having problems my apps moved across no problems but then I got iTunes couldn’t back up my iPhone because the computer wouldn’t allow. I googled this and came to apples support guide on the matter. which was just delete the back up file in preferences (before I did this I did get a text from someone I know but his name wasn’t coming up just the number I feared then Id lost my contacts) so I did delete my back up. but then the next problem was iTunes couldn’t backup because of an unknown error (-20) (I’ve researched this unknown error and I can’t find anything on it) so I restored the software on iTunes and still I get this error
so now Im left with a iPhone with no music, no contacts, no saved app data even apps crash on start. I read on softpedia (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Apple-Knew-iPhone-3G-Owners-Would-Run-Into-iOS-4- Upgrade-Problems-Customer-Claims-145332.shtml) that an apple employee suggested that apple knew this was going to be a problem and there will be a fix at a later date after the iphone4 and IOS4 rollout and either to wait for this, or buy an iphone 4. To simply buy an iPhone 4 is not an option I bought my phone outright on a payandgo and Im disgusted that an apple employee can even suggest that. now that I know Im not alone on this I want to know just what apple are going to do to fix this asap (for the money I paid I could off got a decent laptop with Skype) I expect and demand a resolution to my problem that isn’t going to cost me more time and money than it already has.

just an update,
after reading that some people who are contacting customer support were having some success in fix/getting the iphone replaced. I decided to do the same after going through some testing with the customer care assistant. he told me that I should uninstall itunes and other apple software and reinstall itunes.
uninstall itunes, quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support in that order
it didnt help me but I have now a referance number and I have to ring back tomorrow. the funny thing was that when the customer support guy was putting me on hold to find this resolution he told me that 'this is strange because we have not had this problem or any problems with our update on this phone'.........
I corrected the man and told him 'well, with respect if you was to go on your support forum you will find page after page of people with similar problems not getting answered'
and now im seeing people are having problems with the iphone4 lmfao
