The installable cloud app client can suppress certain type(s) of certificate error from PowerServer.
To do this, go to the PowerServer tab of the Application's Additional Properties page, enable the Ignore PowerServer Certificate option (by default, it is disabled, which means any certificate error will be reported) and input a value in the box. The value can be one or a sum of one or more of the values (each value representing one type of error). For example, the value 3 means ignoring unknown certificate authentication (CA) and certificates whose date is invalid. The value 0 means all of the certificate errors will be ignored.
-
0 -- ignores all certificate errors
-
1 -- ignores unknown certificate authentication (CA)
-
2 -- ignores certificates whose date is invalid
-
4 -- ignores certificates whose common name (CN) is invalid
-
8 -- ignores certificates with incorrect usage
It is recommended to ignore certificate errors only in the development or testing environment; in the production environment, you'd better resolve (rather than ignore) the certificate errors.
Note
In version 2022, the Ignore PowerServer Certificate option is disabled by default (which means any certificate error will NOT be ignored, and will be shown to the user); however in version 2021, there is no such option and all certificate errors are ignored by default. Therefore, if you encounter the certificate error in version 2022, you can consider selecting the Ignore PowerServer Certificate option to ignore the errors (inputting 0 will ignore all errors just like version 2021). This is only recommended for the development & testing environment.
