Strange IOS problem

[t16]

We run access to our alfresco instance through a reverse proxy, acting as a gateway to the outside world.

EVERYTHING works perfectly, bar ONE thing…. Apple devices running the App.

Android, fine, access via share over safari, fine, access to CMIS atom URLS fine, ATOM generated URLS in the CMIS Xml file, fine!!

What happens is we get the red X in the checking server connection on the client, but in our reverse proxy logs, it shows:-

GET /alfresco/service/api/server  401

Everytime.

We have a globalsign wildcard cert for our domain, with no other issues.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to go about troubleshooting why the app just will NOT connect to the server?

Its the latest one downloaded from the iTunes store, and this problem is really starting to frustrate me now!

If you browse to http(s)://<serverort>/alfresco/service/api/server using Mobile Safari - are you prompted for a username/password, or does the API return metadata about the installed version?

In order for the iOS app and SDK to support Alfresco versions from 3.4 - 5.1, we need to know which version we're dealing with to workaround a number of quirks over the years. That API should not need authentication.

Thanks,
