Certificate

[peter.osburg]

Hi there,

I have the following problem that I want to solve. I am writing an application which shall call a server. This server authenticates the user based on a certain certificate.
So the first thing is to get the certificate on the iphone. This is not an issue, I know how to do it.
But here is the question:
Right now I have a prototype where I connect to a URL which replies with an XML file. There is no authentication needed. This will change when I need to get a similar xml file from the mentioned server. In my code I use the method:

NSXMLParser initWithContentsOfURL:

So my question is, when I use a URL that needs a certificate, how do I pass the certificate over? What do I need to provide then? I have the feeling that the iPhone OS will handle that problem itself, but in case you know a little more about it, I just would like to ask you.

I hope I made it clear enough and look forward to any answer.
Best Regards,
Peter

how do u get a certificate on an iPhone?
Doesnt the iPhoen come with a default certificate it uses to sign onto emails
like IMAP,POP?

Can you access that Certificate?

You will probably want to use NSURL Connection to download the XML into an NSData object and then parse the XML from data. I don't know how to use the certificate to authenticate but I am pretty sure you are going to need to use NSURLConnection to do it. Check the docs for the class.
