How can I add support for a specific SSL certificate in my AIR Application

I need to open a specific SSL secured site inside an iFrame of an Adobe-AIR application written in Javascript.

For that reason I've build a small test application which opens the site in a iFrame - this works well, but the server certificate is not accepted. A Popup shows up and prompts the user to accept the untrusted certificate. The server certificate is valid, issued by Trustcenter and is being accepted by default in all major browsers (Webkit, IE, FF, ...). So why does this happen?

To make sure that the server certificate is not a problem, I implemented two other rather common sites, just to see if their certificate is being accepted.

Well.. I just need my application to accept the ssl certificate of my own server. So here's my question: How can I make my application trust "it's home server".

Thanks in advance for your input.

Edit: Here's some example code:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Prototype 1</title>
    <link href="sample.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var fbOpen = 0;
        function drawFb(link, sbRoot) {

            if (fbOpen != link) {
                fbOpen = link;
                $('#fbContainer').html('<iframe src="'+link+'" '
                                        +'width="700" height="480" ></iframe>')
                $('#fbContainer').show('slow');         
            }
            else {
                fbOpen = 0;
                $('#fbContainer').hide('slow');     
            }
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body style="background-color:yellow;padding:1em;">
    <h3>Example</h3>
    <p>Hi there! This is a basic example showing the usage of Iframes...</p>
    <input type="submit" onclick="drawFb('https://www.example.com/');" value="Test Own" />
    <input type="submit" onclick="drawFb('https://www.google.de/');" value="Test G" />
    <input type="submit" onclick="drawFb('https://www.adobe.com/');" value="Test A" />
    <div id="fbContainer" style="display:none;width:700px;height:480px;border:1px dashed red;"></div>
   </body>

Solution

  • I seems that this is a bug in AIR on Ubuntu 64-Bit. When I test the application on Vista, Win7 or MacOS, then the app does not ask for a certificate.
