| 13 | +## How to access code-server with a self signed certificate on iPad |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The following instructions assume you have code-server installed |
| 16 | +and running with a self signed certificate. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +If not, please first go through [./guide.md](./guide.md)! |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +**warning**: Do not try to access your code-server instance before completing the below |
| 21 | +steps otherwise you may have to restart your iPad as Safari will refuse |
| 22 | +to connect to code-server even after you install the certificate. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The below assumes you are using the self signed certificate that code-server |
| 25 | +generates for you. If not, that's fine but you'll have to make sure your certificate |
| 26 | +abides by the following guidelines from apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210176 |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +1. Your certificate **must** have a subject alt name that matches the hostname/ip address |
| 29 | + at which you will access code-server from your iPad. You can pass this to code-server |
| 30 | + so that it generates the certificate correctly with `--cert-host`. |
| 31 | +2. Share your self signed certificate with the iPad. |
| 32 | + - code-server will print the location of the certificate it has generated in the logs. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | +[2020-10-30T08:55:45.139Z] info - Using generated certificate and key for HTTPS: ~/.local/share/code-server/192_168_0_15.crt |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +- You can mail it to yourself or if you have a Mac, it's easiest to just Airdrop. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +3. When opening it, you'll get prompted that it is available to install in settings. |
| 41 | +4. Go to `Settings -> General -> Profile -> localhost` and then hit `Install`. |
| 42 | + - You may be prompted to hit `Install` again |
| 43 | +5. Once installed, accessing code-server should work! |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +If something goes wrong it's best to remove the profile, exit any tabs |
| 46 | +in Safari and restart the iPad. And then try again. |
