Wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk not ignoring TLS

snap
1

Hi all,

I’m relatively new to snap applications and functions, but reasonably up on Linux deployments.

We have some projectors we want to create a touch panel control for that use self-signed certificates.

I’ve got ubuntu-frame and wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk running on Ubuntu Core and confirmed it can access https URLs from the internet. What it isn’t doing is allowing us to view the webpages from the projectors. I’ve set the ignore-tls-errors flag to true but it still won’t allow us in.

Does anyone have any ideas what we can try next?

Thanks in advance

Mike

I have some devices working with ubuntu-frame + wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk.

I noticed this issue when installing new devices today. I ended up installing the older version of wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk.

The new version/revision as of today is 2.38.5 rev 102 (22/stable), and the older version that I’m using on working devices is 2.38.5 rev 100.

To install the older version:

  • First you need to remove/uninstall the one that has been installed:
    sudo snap remove wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk
  • Then install the rev 100:
    sudo snap install wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk --revision=100
  • Confirm the newly installed version with:
    sudo snap info wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk

Now set the ignore tls error flag:
sudo snap set wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk ignore-tls-errors=true

Then you can check if the tls errors are ignored.
