Mobile App Settings

I tried to setup the app,

i get this error,

It seems that the HTTPS certificate is self-signed or not trusted. The mobile app will only work with trusted sites.

What might be the solution?

Regards.

Well... is your https certificate self-signed (or from some iffy supplier)?

Its certificate self-signed,

Currently i used just a path to access moodle,

I created a folder inside a site folder which is using https:/www.ilearnea.co.tz

so iuse that path to access my moodle for testing, and i access through www.ilearnea.co.tz/lms which comes automatically with unsecured link of http:/www.ilearnea.co.tz/lms

or i might create new certificate for me to access it through https?

Regards

You can check for yourself running SSL tests like https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/. Your site must pass.

You still have trouble, viewing from my side. The site http://../lms seems to work fine but not https://../lms. it has mixed secure and insecure content and the display is broken. If you really want https, make the http automatically redirect to https and then start repairing.

Well, the error was quite clear. It won't work with a self-signed certificate.

A self-signed certificate should only be used for testing. It doesn't give any real security. There are places you can get free 'proper' certificates.

If you want a recommendation, try https://letsencrypt.org/
