SSL mobile suite ?

[oldlock]

The existing forum I manage uses SSL for all connections. Does the mobile suite app support SSL connections ?

[Zachery]

I am not sure but I will try to find out for you.

OK. Thanks

We have not tested this extensively but believe that this will most likely fail. Please contact me at [email protected] and we might be able to work out a test procedure for your site. Thank you.

Hi there. We have SSL forced on our vBulletin forum and it causes login on the mobile apps to fail. We believe this is due to the SSL being forced, however we want this for the desktop version of the forum. Is there a way we can get this to work on the app?

We're humming along fine here right now with forced ssl.

Hi Zachery. Thanks for your response. Do your iPhone and Android apps work fine too? The desktop and mobile version of the forum work ok with the SSL forced, just not the apps themselves.

Our mobile apps are working fine as far as I know. I only have a WP7 and we don't yet have that available.

I sometimes browse here with the vB Android app and have never had issues doing so.

I don't have a problem accessing the site via the iOS Mobile App. There is no indication in the app on whether it is using SSL or not.

Only if it gains marketshare. According to Comscore, it only has 3.9 percent of the US market which is actually down since December of last year. While the US isn't our only market, it is the largest.

Though the percentages are roughly the same in Japan.

Its kind of one of those chicken and egg issues, people who like "apps" are not intrested in the windows phone market place because there are not enough users.

Hi Zachary. Are you able to tell me how you force your SSL? Also, by upgrading to the latest mobile suite, do you think this will resolve our issue with the apps? Finally, will we need to be on a minimum version of the forum suite to accommodate upgrading the mobile suite?

It is forced by server level redirects on this site.

Depends on your issues. Are they in JIRA and marked as closed/fixed? Or are they still pending?

As you're using the vBulletin 4 Publishing Suite, you need to be on vBulletin 4.1.12 or higher to use Mobile Suite 1.3.
