4. Syncing fails without warning on TLS CNAME mismatch

Syncing fails without warning on TLS CNAME mismatch

  • A

    Issue #447 ist still present in 0.8 .
    I changed the dns name of my server, without adapting the TLS certificate. The CNAME on the certificate does not match the dns name anymore. davdroid silently failed to sync for a week without me noticing.

    I am no expert on the android TLS api, so I cannot tell why the exception is not marked as to be displayed.

    Maybe it would be a good idea to display a notification if syncing failed for a prolonged time even if caused by soft errors. If something (dav server, dns, whatever) failed for a long time it would be nice to at least know that something is wrong.

    Thanks for your report. I agree and this is not intended behaviour as certificate errors are hard errors which should be shown. Please follow up in #507.

    Temporal relations are not necessarily causal relations.
