How to connect to self signed servers using Alamofire 1.3

Question

I get the below error while connecting to self signed server.

Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1202 "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “maskeddomain.com” which could put your confidential information at risk." UserInfo=0x7fb6dec259e0 {NSURLErrorFailingURLPeerTrustErrorKey=, NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Would you like to connect to the server anyway?, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-9813, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fb6dbe0dd90 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error -1202.)"

Looks like Alamofire 1.3 (https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire#security) allows disabling this validation. Has anyone implemented this? I'm using Alamofire API's on my swift project, not sure where exactly "Server Trust Policy Manager" needs to be implemented. Please advice.

Answer 1

Manager configuration for Swift 3 or Swift 4 and Alamofire 4:

private static var manager: Alamofire.SessionManager = {

    // Create the server trust policies
    let serverTrustPolicies: [String: ServerTrustPolicy] = [
        "test.example.com": .disableEvaluation
    ]

    // Create custom manager
    let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
    configuration.httpAdditionalHeaders = Alamofire.SessionManager.defaultHTTPHeaders
    let manager = Alamofire.SessionManager(
        configuration: URLSessionConfiguration.default,
        serverTrustPolicyManager: ServerTrustPolicyManager(policies: serverTrustPolicies)
    )

    return manager
}()
