GetCertificatePath(Boolean generateCertificate...

[StoneMonkeyMark 1]

Hi,

Hopefully a short query,

Is this an expected error as self cert generation functionality not done yet, or is there something I have done wrong.

This is with "Report https as external address" option *off*.

I think this may be due to the server running on an old Windows 7 Pro machine with no service pack nor any IE updates. And the code to get GetCertificatePath() code etc is not expecting the older OS.

 

And an extra question, does it do a fresh cert each time the external IP changes or every reboot? I am on DynDNS and guess it has to be the former if that is to work, but I have only seen the bot.whatsmyip.com in the boot sequence so far.

 

Thanks for any advice.

Docs:

In addition you can also supply your own custom SSL certificate. This is highly recommended for https usage.

"If omitted, the server will create a self-signed certificate."

My server fails on the first of these and then succeeds on the second.

"http://bot.whatismyipaddress.com", "https://connect.mediabrowser.tv/service/ip"

But yet when called from IE both are OK in fact the second is very slow to respond.

What do other people see in their logs, success on both?

Success (on the second one) looks like this:

it's based on the server's external address so anytime that changes the self-signed cert will change as well.

[StoneMonkeyMark 1]

Thanks Luke for politely tying together my random comments. I should have broken that second posting out to a proper issue. No good doing late night posting.

I see now in the code that a time is set up for 3 hourly checks.

_timer = new Timer(TimerCallback, null, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5), TimeSpan.FromHours(3));

And that the cert will update based on this too.

OnConfigurationUpdated

if (!string.Equals(CertificatePath, GetCertificatePath(false), StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))

but that this will then require a server restart. I wonder if a soft replacement might be possible.

Anyway leaving that as is and all good...

 

Can we leave this thread open for seeing if others have an error on set cert creation and how to fix it?

Thanks

MarkB

[Luke 42081]

Sure. and yes, a soft replacement is possible, that was just an easy starting point. the standalone SocketHttpListener project would have to be updated to support that.
