I am using AFnetworking. My application webserver is in TLS 1.2. I want to add Certificate pinning to my iOS app. My code as below:
AFHTTPSessionManager *manager=[[AFHTTPSessionManager manager] initWithBaseURL:serviceURL];
NSSet *certificates = [AFSecurityPolicy certificatesInBundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
AFSecurityPolicy *policy = [AFSecurityPolicy policyWithPinningMode:AFSSLPinningModeCertificate withPinnedCertificates:certificates];
policy.validatesDomainName = YES;
policy.allowInvalidCertificates = YES;
opManager.securityPolicy = policy;
I have my valid server certificate in my bundle and with this code webservices are working fine. But when I tried the same with an incorrect sample certificate, that time also webservices are working. I even tried with no certificates in bundle, that time also, webservices are working fine. Could anyone please explain this? AppTransportSecurity is turned ON in my app.
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<false/>
</dict>
I found a solution to this issue. Please find below the code I used to replace existing code. It's working as expected.
AFHTTPSessionManager *opManager=[[AFHTTPSessionManager manager] initWithBaseURL:baseUrl];
opManager.requestSerializer = [AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer];
opManager.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
// SSL Pinning
NSString *certificatePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"xxxxxxxx.com" ofType:@"der"];
NSData *certificateData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:certificatePath];
AFSecurityPolicy *securityPolicy = [AFSecurityPolicy policyWithPinningMode:AFSSLPinningModeCertificate];
[securityPolicy setAllowInvalidCertificates:YES];
[securityPolicy setPinnedCertificates:@[certificateData]];
[opManager setSecurityPolicy:securityPolicy];
