  • 0

I need to work with private HTTPS API and client has incorrect certificate on the host.
Certificate is for http://www.clienthost.com and I’m working with api.clienthost.com.
So I need to connect via HTTPS to api.clienthost.com ignoring incorrect certificate but still make sure it is the one for http://www.clienthost.com and not something else.
I found this answer: How to use NSURLConnection to connect with SSL for an untrusted cert? and it seems to solve half of my problem but I’m trying to figure out how to still check certificate for host is one I expect to see and not different.

    Try implementing the delegate method for NSURLConnection

    - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge

    Then the following will contain the host

    [[challenge protectionSpace] host]

    You can then proceed by calling one of the following 

    continueWithoutCredentialForAuthenticationChallenge:

cancelAuthenticationChallenge:

useCredential:forAuthenticationChallenge:
