SSL in development

Question

SSL in development

Closed this issue 5 years ago · 3 comments

the webauthn seems to require SSL, which made testing this locally a tiny bit trickier. Thankfully, phoenix can generate SSL certificates mix phx.gen.cert. It just requires a small config change (see SSL Support in config/dev.exs). Did you want to me to commit that change (and the certificates) as a PR?

WebAuthn requires SSL, except when running or localhost :) So if the demo didn't work for you on localhost:4000 then please report as it means there is another problem

I didn't know about localhost. I was using 127.0.0.1 and getting DOMException: "The operation is insecure."

That's the error you get when you don't use SSL indeed. Closing the issue since it's written explicitely to browse localhost in the README.
