Word for iOS and Sharepoint SSL Alfresco

[jeesee]

I'm trying to get de iPad-app Word working with documents in Alfresco over Sharepoint SSL.
I'm trying with the following configuration:

- Alfresco 5.0 Community Edition
- Installed on Windows 8
- SSL delivered by Apache Server through AJP (Virtual Host with valid certificate)
- SSL for Sharepoint also deliverd by Apache Server through mod_proxy (another Virtual Host, with valid certificate)

When trying to edit Word-documents "Online" on a Windows 8.1 Laptop from the Alfresco-Share it all works fine. No certificate errors, and documents can be edited and saved back.

When trying to open the samen document from the Sharepoint-URL in Word for iPad, an invalid certificate error appears, and de documents can't be openened.

I would like to edit documents, and write back, with my iPad through SSL.

Is there anyone out here who has this configuration working?

Have you set the vti.server.external properties in your alfresco-global.properties file?  I had to change these settings before I could get past that error.  That's not to say I actually have it working from ios….. I'm struggling with a "can't open folder" issue now and when I directly open a document it won't let me edit it - it keeps saying there is a newer version. 
I have the spp module proxied at the /vti url (all on one server)
Here's what I have in my alfresco-global.properties file for vti:
vti.server.port=7070
vti.server.protocol=http
vti.server.external.host={put your proxy fqdn here, must match certificate}
vti.server.external.port=443
vti.server.url.path.prefix=/vti
vti.server.external.protocol=https
vti.server.external.contextPath=/vti

Hope this helps

Hi Jesse, Did you get this going?  Did you use a wildcard cert or a cert with a specific server CN? What URL did you use on the iPad to connect to a document? Are you successfully reverse proxying Sharepoint through the Apache? If so using APJ of http/https?  Sorry for the dump of questions but they are specific.

How naive (the alfresco guys listening) are these guys to follow the twaddle secreted by the certificate mafia to think that the encryption is different from a cert vendor as opposed to a site based self signed CA. In the end they are all self signed. They (certificate mafia) cant even perform reliable OSCP because their sites are so overloaded post Snowden and heart-bleed. Small minds only know to say NO just incase.

I have gotten this to work via AJP proxy with the VTI Jetty server.  The problem is presuably that the standard VTI Jetty server uses self signed certificates which are not accepted by iOS.

Using the word app I can log in succesfully without errors, however after that no files or folders are displayed.

Has anyone else managed to successfully get this to work?.
