Hello all,

I am new to Zap proxy and just recently started experimenting with it. Currently, I have a ZAP proxy server running in a Linux box running Ubuntu and I am trying to connect my iPad to this proxy server to gather all the traffic info routed through it. I have installed the OWASP ROOT CA Certificate in my iPad which I generated using ZAP's dynamic SSL certificates options. However, even after installing the appropriate certificate I am still not able to connect to any HTTPS site and I get the error "Safari cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server" . I am able to connect to normal HTTP sites and see the Web Traffic in ZAP application for the same. Also, in my iPad's Settings->General->Profile&Device Management->Configuration Profile, "OWASP Zed Attack Proxy Root CA" appears as "Verified". Anyone who had faced a similar issue and solved it or can help me with something that I have been doing wrong in the process? Will really appreciate some help.

Regards
Swagat

Does Safari on iPad use "certificate pinning"? If so, that could be your problem. You should be able to test it by visiting some https: site you've never visited before since only a few "pins" would be pre-loaded (e.g., Apple sites) and the others work on TOFU (Trust On First Use).
