Fortify local client isn't detected in first running

[rossinicolas]

Dears, i have an issue in my app the first time that the PeculiarFortifyCertificates web compontent is rendering because the component not detect the client locally installed. If i put the url https://127.0.0.1:31337/.well-known/webcrypto-socket in the browser, the second time that the component is render everything it's ok.
TIA.

We will needs Fortify logs, the logs from the JavaScript console and what browser you are expecting this with.

Hi @rmhrisk ,
The Fortify Log is empty, i'm using both Chrome and Firefox.

I have a github repo if would you like try.

@rossinicolas Do you have any Security warnings on the first starting?
After putting еру link to the local service do you accept SSL certificate in it?

Looks like the problem is with the trusted certificate registration

[rossinicolas]

it's like a browser could't connect to localhost.
Using the web component i don't have any security warning and if i use the url https://tools.fortifyapp.com i saw that logs in the browser console

the only way that i found to use the component in the clients is running the url https://127.0.0.1:31337/.well-known/webcrypto-socket the first time, but isn't a solution because will be have again the issue if the user cleanup the browser history or cookies.

@rossinicolas Could you try to remove ~/.fortify folder and restart Fortify. It must generate the new SSL certificate and mark it like a trusted certificate.

On SSL generation you'll see the waning dialog

[rossinicolas]

I removed the fortify folder and after restart the local client i saw the Security warning that you show me, but i still showing the message "Fortify Client Not Detected"
The repo that i'm using to testing sign with Fortify Client is https://github.com/rossinicolas/fortify-test.git

It's strange. I can't reproduce that issue. Fortify reinstalls SSL certificate and the browser trusts to it

[rossinicolas]

i made the same testing that you in Windows and everything it's ok. My issue is in Linux system because i'm using Linux Mint as OS.

[microshine]

I've got the same problem on MacOS for Firefox browser. Looks like Fortify can't register SSL certificate.

working on it

@rossinicolas Thank you for the help

@rossinicolas Could you check out your Mozilla Profiles folder?

The current version of Fortify looks for profiles with default name in:

• Windows: ~/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles
• Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox
• MacOS: /Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles

I found that my computer has got 2 default profiles - <id>.default and <id>.default-release. And looks like Firefox uses default but on SSL certificate adding it throws exception about bad database.

I removed all my profiles and restarted Firefox. Now it uses default-release and Fortify adds SSL certificate correctly.

There is one more way to add the trusted certificate. Import it to firefox Authorities manually. PEM CA certificate is ~/.fortify/ca.pem

[rossinicolas]

Good Morning @microshine , fist of all thanks for your time to resolve my issue. The first solution that you told me yesterday doesn't work in my PC, instead, the manually import works perfectly such in Firefox as Chrome.
Kind regards.
