New issue 268055 by j...@google.com: "No Certificates Found"
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=268055

Device name: Galaxy Nexus phone

From "Settings > About Chrome"
Application version: 28.0.1500.94
OS: Android 4.3


Behavior in Android Browser (if applicable):

Since the last Android update (or maybe Chrome update) on my phone, I get
this message, over and over: "No Certificates Found. The app Chrome has
requested a certificate. Choosing a certificate will let the app use this
identity with servers now and in the future. The app has identified the
requesting server as (...), but you should only give the app access to the
certificate if you trust the app. You can install certificates from a
PKCS#12 file with a .pfx or a .p12 extension located in external storage."

At that point, my choices are Install or Cancel. If I hit Install, it
says "No certificate found in USB storage" and we start over again. So I
hit Cancel, and we start over again. It takes four or five Cancels before
it stops.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit a corporate site. I am signed in with my corporate account.

Expected result: Get to the site


Actual result: Get this dialogue box

Sounds like issue 240733. Can you try Chrome Beta
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en) and
see if it is fixed?

Just to note on my earlier comment, we have 4000+ android devices so this
is really frustrating for our users. Our iOS users aren't having any
issues.

This issue appears to be related to the server requesting an X.509
certificate.

This issue appears to be related to the server requesting an X.509
certificate. When we set WantClientAuth=false on our Ping federation
server the problem goes away. Unfortunately, we have other applications
that depend on X.509 certificates.

Same issue here - Chrome 38.0.2125.102 on Android 4.4.4 (CyanogenMod 11
nightlies on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2), clicking through a Microsoft Hosted
Exchange (Office365) spam quarantine link to 'Report as Not Spam'
or 'Release to Inbox', the O365 quarantine web server requests a
certificate, and I have to click 'cancel' in Chrome on Android.
This does not happen with desktop Chrome.

I can fix the issue if you have access to IIS. Basically you need to go to
SSL Settings and make sure Require SSL is unchecked and that "Ignore" is
selected for Client Certificates.

I found this error while authenticating to a guest network at a national
lab. I solved the problem by pre-emptively entering the Android browser
(rather than Chrome) and going through the authentication process in that
browser. Subsequently, Chrome works fine on that network.

I am facing this same issue, Please help me how to fix this issue?
This app (Chrome) has requested a certificate. Selecting a certificate will
allow the app to use this identify with servers now and in the future. the
application has identified the requesting server as '' but you should only
grant the application access to the certificate if you trust the
application.

You can install certificates from a PKCS#12 file with a .pfx or a .p12
extension

While implementing SSO with X.509 certificates, we have run into this same
issue. The prompt to install a certificate only comes up on the Chrome
browser from Android phones.

Please change Chrome on Android to behave like all other browser and not
prompt to install a certificate.

Ditto - Chrome on Android only in my case. Did not have this problem with
my N4. Have it often on my new Axon.

No other browser has this issue. If a site is https, it will request a
client certificate for secure purposes.

This is normal browser behavior.

How can someone working at Google not know this?

ExternalDependency if not outright WontFix.

Hi,

We are also facing the same issue while accessing our https Website from
Android devices through Chrome. same is working fine with other browser
like Firefox/Safari etc.

Looks like it's a generic issue. Kindly suggest how can we resolve it.

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=268055

dhiraj.haritwal: As with comment #35, the issue is that optional client
certificate authentication does not work. Due to Android's security model,
the failure modes are particularly bad for Chrome on Android, but this
deployment strategy is not viable in general.

If you don't know what I mean by "optional client certificate
authentication", your site is probably misconfigured to request client
certificates when you don't need it to. The fix is then straightforward but
depends on what server software you're running. Consult the documentation
on how to configure SSL for it.

I fixed this by telling server not to request client cert on nginx. Which
web server are you using ? It more then likely can be disabled.

I am using IIS 7.5 along with "Ignore Client Certificate" setting for SSL.

Hi,

I had a case with Microsoft Professional Support for this issue. They have
checked & verified that, first of all nothing wrong with IIS Config,
secondly this issue is only with Chrome browser whereas same IIS Hosted
site is working without any issue in other browser like Safari/Firefox.

Also as i mentioned in my earlier post, already have ignore client
certificate option selected on IIS.

you can check for below website.

email me your mail ID to send you URL.

Comment #45 on issue 268055 by rsl...@chromium.org: "No Certificates Found"
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=268055

Note: This bug has grown a number of comments, making it difficult to
triage. I'm going to set a Needs-Feedback flag on this; those that are
encountering issues are requested to provide a chrome
net-internals/net-export log (see
https://dev.chromium.org/for-testers/providing-network-details )

However, please be aware: If a website requests client certificate
authentication (whether in require or want mode - if it requests it *at
all*), then this behaviour is expected and by design as part of the Android
security model.

If you are using client certificate authentication, and are an Enterprise,
you can use the android.app.admin APIs to handle and suppress prompts, as
appropriate to your enterprise config, through the use of an MDM
application.

If you are a user, and seeing this on random sites, the *server* is at
fault. While we can suppress these prompts on some platforms Chrome runs on
(such as common desktop platforms), the enhanced security and privacy
design of Android do not make it possible for applications - where Chrome
or evil hostile applications - to find out your identities in a way that
would let us suppress the prompt if you don't have any. However, the
server, not Chrome, is the one misconfigured for requesting it in the first
place.

I'm not directly closing this as WontFix, in the slight event that someone
has a net-internals log that suggests there might be a Chrome bug where the
server *isn't* requesting it, but based on these comments, that does not
appear to be the case. We will likely WontFix this, for working as
intended, for the reasons described above.
