App connection not working with reverse proxy
AnsweredSummary
With the Nx Witness iOS app, no connection from the WAN to the locally hosted Nx Witness server is possible if a reverse proxy is used at the LAN/WAN edge. Instead, the error message "Invalid certificate" always appears.
The reverse proxy uses a Let's Encrypt certificate. The web interface can be accessed without any problems. Internally the Nx Witness server uses a self signed certificate.
Environment
- Nx Witness Version: 5.1.1.37512
- Client OS: iOS 17.4
- Server OS: Windows Server 2019
- Network Topology: 1 server, 7 cameras
Reproduction Scenario
See summary.
Expected Behavior
The app accepts the publicly trusted Let's Encrypt certificate and establishes the connection to the server.
Actual Behavior
See summary.
Additional Information
No further information.

Hi Felix Rüll,
The Client - Server checks the certificate, but stumbles upon a different certificate due to the reverse proxy, which breaks the chain of trust. If you want to use the reverse proxy configuration, please assure the certificates are equal.
