I’m trying to get my iPad (3rd gen) to access a website on my workstation over an https connection (though I should perhaps mention I cannot connect to it over HTTP either). The aim is to have a working demo of two-way authentication with certificates.
I’ve installed the client cert on the iPad and a number of Windows and OSX machines on our network. But the iPad seems to be having trouble getting the IP from the local DNS server or perhaps hitting the DNS server at all. As there doesn’t seem to be a Hosts file or any way of debugging the network side of the iPad I’m a bit stuck.
Does anyone have any hints/tips/tools that could make my life half-way bearable?
Unfortunately things like you mention aren’t built in in iOS. I would have a look in the App Store and get an app to perform pings and do DNS lookups. Maybe NetTools could work for you?
