Client certificate authentication mode on android
0 vote
We have a DVLS behind a revery proxy that only lets connections pass if they have a valid client certificate.
RDM on windows has a very useful feature for this in the data source configuration.
I would like to have access to the data source on my phone, but unfortunatly there is no such option on android.
In the setting of the app, there is an option named "Certificates" with the description of "Manage the certificates that can be used by the app", but I still cannot connect to DVLS when I import my client certificate into there.
Am I just using this feature wrong or is there currently no way to connect to a DVLS that requires a client-certificate?

Hello,
I moved your request on the RDM Android Feature Request forum.
I will inform our development team of this topic.

Hello,
Currently, we indeed do not yet support managing a certificate for a DVLS data source.
We are adding this to our to-do list.
In the meantime, you might try using our data source export functions in RDM Windows and importing it into Android. The certificate-related information would thus be transferred (do not make any modifications to the data source to avoid losing the configuration). However, we cannot guarantee that the certificate you have loaded will be used by the application.

Hello,
We would like to know if you plan to try the workaround method we suggested to you. If you could confirm that it works, it would save us from having to set up an environment like yours and simply add the fields in the DVLS data source editing. This would allow us to expedite development and testing and deliver this improvement to you more quickly.
Best regards,

Thank you for looking into this topic.
This workaround unfortunatly does not work. I tried with 3 android phones, but no luck.
If you would be interested, I would be happy to provide a login alongside a client-certificate for our DVLS instance, so that you do not have to setup a test enviorment.
Kind regards,
Kilian
PS: If you are already working on client certificate authentication on andorid. I have colleague on MacOS who would appreciate this feature as well. (I know the codebases are probably significantly diffrent)

Hi Kilian,
Given that we are extending your request to include iOS and Mac in addition to Android, our IT team will need to set up a testing environment. Please hold off on allocating your time for us. We will keep you updated.
Thank you again!
