SOGo: CalDAV Entries not showing in Client (iOS, macOS, Android) - caldav

we have set up a CalDAV server here with SOGo as backend and frontend (WEBUI). Which is working as expected.
But there are some errors which I cannot reproduce and the logging also gives no hint since there is no logging:
1) macOS 10.11 - latest release
I can login to CalDAV, I can create entries (which are synced) and they show up in WEBUI. But events created in WEBUI are not synced.
2) Same credentials, same usage on iPhone iOS12 - I can't even log in to the calender.
Here the HTTP error in the log indicates a "Forbidden"...but as stated the credentials are correct - maybe iOS sends a authentication methode which is not installed on my server?
Dan

The answer to this question is very simple and seems intuitive:
Install SSL certificate for https connections to SOGo web-root
Forward all http requests to https

Sporadic Signin using Traefik with Integrated Windows Authentication

I'm having an issue getting Traefik to proxy applications that are secured using Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). When the content being served is simply an IIS virtual directory secured with IWA there is no problem. However, when it is a .NET Core application or MVC application or even just a simple Default.aspx page and IWA is enabled I continually get prompted for my credentials (never being accepted). See below for my configuration:
Traefik Configuration:
# ns-ws
[frontends.ns_ws]
passHostHeader=true
entrypoints=["http","https"]
backend = "ns_ws"
[frontends.ns_ws.routes.match_all]
rule = "Host:ns-ws.example.com"
[backends.ns_ws]
# ns-ws
[backends.ns_ws.loadbalancer.stickiness]
[backends.ns_ws.servers.server1]
url = "http://x.x.x.x:80"
I've played with removing pass host headers and stickiness, but no luck.
Seems like the original request makes it through because I do not get an unauthenticated error message from IIS for the page, but most subsequent requests to the server will return a 401 (seems sporadic).
Example Image:
I've tried changing the "authPersistNonNTLM" option in IIS, as described here: https://boyan.io/kerberos-load-balancers/ (with no luck)
I realize this is a very stale issue but in case this helps others.
I can confirm that Windows Integrated authentication works successfully with Traefik 2.x using a TCP as opposed to HTTP router with successful logins proven on Windows/Mac using Safari/Chrome/IE.
Note that when testing it is important to ensure you have cleared cookie caches or you can get unpredictable results due to prior login attempts on non-working configurations you may have attempted. Indeed I experienced something similar to your described behavior with repeated unexplained login prompts until I reset my browser.
In our configuration we have a mixed-OS docker Swarm (Linux/Windows) with Traefik operating on Linux and sending requests straight to back-end Windows-containers running on Windows swarm nodes.
If you have configured your Windows app and containers correctly I can confirm that from:
A domain-joined machine you will get straight through login to Windows back-end containers using the domain-joined machine's Kerberos credentials
A non-domain-joined machine connection will downgrade to Windows NTLM authentication and prompt for Windows authentication credentials.
From a Traefik configuration perspective our docker containers have labels like this:
- "traefik.tcp.routers.dotnet-tcpexample.entrypoints=websecure"
- "traefik.tcp.routers.dotnet-tcpexample.tls=true"
- "traefik.tcp.routers.dotnet-tcpexample.tls.options=default"
- "traefik.tcp.routers.dotnet-tcpexample.rule=HostSNI(`windows.foo.bar`)"
- "traefik.tcp.routers.dotnet-tcpexample.tls.passthrough=true"
- "traefik.tcp.routers.dotnet-tcpexample.service=dotnet-tcpexample"
- "traefik.tcp.services.dotnet-tcpexample.loadbalancer.server.port=443"
Note that configuring containers for Windows integrated authentication in itself is non-trivial but documented here.

IPHONE SSL HTTPS was working with http

I have an app that works great using the http. I had to disallow the transport setting of course while I developed.
I got a SSL/TLS (see below) certificate from GoDaddy and want to secure my APP and change my http: to https and get the error attached see image.
If you have correctly installed the certificate on your server, then you don't need to add any exceptions on the iOS app.
ATS (App Transport Security) was introduced by Apple so that your app uses https and not http for your communication with servers. Have a look at this URL for more info if you need to put an exception.

JMeter recording iOS native application that uses HTTPS leads to SSL handshake issue

I have an IPAD hybrid app for our application. It tries to hit our https server during login process. I would like to use JMeter to record this simple flow.
I am running JMeter proxy server in my local machine. I updated IPAD proxy details so that any activity will go via JMeter proxy - so that i can record.
I am able to record in JMeter the activities i do in Safari browser of the IPAD. But if i access my app in IPAD JMeter sends it as http request & records javax.net.ssl.sslhandshakeexception error . In the browser i can accept the SSL certificate. Not sure how it can be done in IPad.
I even tried to export the certificate from my browser , sent it to my email , accessed it in IPAD and installed. Still it does not work. Looks like it is a temporary certificate issued by JMeter.
If it is not https, then JMeter will be able to record the app activities.
Anyone has faced similar situation? how did you rsolve this?
Use jmeter 2.11 with Java 7 , it creates a crt file in jmeter/bin folder.
It is the CA that creates the certificates.
Send this file by mail and open it in Ipad and install it.
In test script recorder, put in the dedicated field HTTPS domains , the domains you are trying to hit, see:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP(S)_Test_Script_Recorder
Restart Ipad and jmeter test script recorder and try again.

Can't Authenticate with Local .NET back-end

I've followed the guide:
Getting Started with Authentication with Mobile Services .NET for Windows Store
I'm able to run the service locally as long as I don't need to authenticate the user. I can also authenticate the user if I publish the service to Azure. But I want to be able to test and authenticate the user locally. How can this be done?
I'm using Live ID and I have the correct ClientID and ClientSecret set in the Web.config. When I attempt to call LoginAsync from the client the call fails with The request could not be completed. (Method Not Allowed)
** Update 2014-03-20 **
Based on the comments of Carlos and Henrik, I've updated my local service to look exactly like my server instance. I followed Scot Hanselmans excellent guide and now I have my service running locally on port 80 and port 443 with a completely valid SSL certificate. It's even running on the exact same https://xxxx.azure-mabile.net hostname.
With these changes, there is now no configuration difference whatsoever between running the app against my local machine or running it against Azure. I can go to https://xxxx.azure-mabile.net in the browser, get redirected to Live login, sign in, and get redirected back to the service successfully. In the browser it all works. However it still doesn't work in the app.
I attached the debugger, set CLR errors to "break when thrown" and I managed to trap the exception in the service. Here's what I see in the immediate window:
The Response property is not helpful. It does not provide any additional information about the problem.
The only thing that stands out to me is that the app is trying to do a POST to /login/microsoftaccount while the browser would normally be doing a GET at this address (then getting redirected).
** Update #2 2014-03-20 **
After following Henriks guide for remote debugging I was able to load symbols and get a tiny bit more information:
"An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"
The error code is 10054 (WSAECONNRESET) Connection reset by peer.
It appears the Live Authentication server may be forcibly terminating the connection, but only when I'm authenticating with the app. Again, authentication within the browser is fine. This, combined with the fact that /login/microsoftaccount is a POST from the app seems to suggest there is a problem with the authentication token I'm getting back from LiveClient.LoginAsync. I'll do some more digging...
At the moment, it is set up so that you don't need authentication when running locally and access the service from localhost. In this case, anonymous access is let through (this is of course disabled while running in the cloud).
We don't really have a way for your to authenticate locally as redirect URIs won't work (they can't point to localhost as there is not way that Facebook, say, can resolve "localhost").
One option is that we somehow can mock the authentication locally and give you a token without connecting with the various identity providers. I am not sure exactly what that would look like but it is something we can consider.
Henrik
Did you perhaps set Mobile client app: Yes in your Live Connect project? I think that setting is meant to be used with the Live Connect SDK (client) flow, not the browser-based (server) flow. The client flow isn't supported yet with a .NET backend.
You also want to make sure you are using LoginAsync(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.MicrosoftAccount) on the client to trigger the server flow.

Facebook App: any way to run the app without SSL?

I am working on my first app for Facebook and facing (probably) with the SSL problem. If I am testing the app, so it's working well. But then I wanted to test the app by my friend - so I assigned him the role "Tester", he accepted it and I sent him the link to the app.
If he opened the app, he got the error The website is not available - Error 501 (net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE): Unknown error
I started google it and it looks that the cause is the missing SSL certificate on my hosting, where the app is stored.
BUT - how is possible, that the app is working me well without the SSL and to my friend doesn't? If the SSL is required for Facebook apps, why I didn't get the same error?
(I set Secure Canvas URL: to https://example.com/fb-app-directory/, however I don't have at this domain and hosting any SSL certificate).
I never used before SSL. I bought the domain name on Namecheap and hosting on Hostgator. So now, I should buy a SSL certificate from the offer (http://www.namecheap.com/ssl-certificates.aspx) of Namecheap, right?
Would be suitable for the Facebook app the cheapest one?
Look, this SSL problem can only be solved by purchasing a valid SSL certificate or looking for a server which can host your app and is SSL certified such as:
phpfog.com - Provides you with some limited space and database service.
heroku.com - Does not provide any storage space for saving dynamically generated data. To have that service, you have to buy the Amazon buckets service which, again, is a costly affair.
If you don't want to invest any money, I would recommend that you go with phpfog - it is easy and its documentation is pretty good.
You should buy an SSL cert in order for everyone to be able to access your app. Your friend probably has his settings set so that he browses Facebook securely, in this case he is hitting https://example.com/fb-app-directory/, not your actual URL.
The cheapest one isn't the best one, but it should work as long as it's valid. I would suggest using Heroku though, as that way you get everything you need - for free :)
Use a proxy in heroku.com and bring your page in secure domain as https://yourapplication.herokuapp.com/
"Starting October 1, 2011 Facebook will require a valid SSL Certificate for all pages and applications hosted outside of Facebook."
http://www.wpcode.net/fb-ssl.html/
Maybe you are visiting your application with http://apps.facebook.com/... and your friend is visiting with https://apps.facebook.com/....
Another possibility is that your friend has checked "Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible" under "Account Security".
Try ngrok. It exposes a local web server with just one command:
ngrok 80
After this you can access your localhost like this: xxxxxxxx.ngrok.com
