i am using node red with https so web sockest need to be wss:// and that works on a windows computer and a android phone but a apple phone and ipod will not connect to the web socket, it works if i turn off https and use ws:// but i want it to be https because i want to have port forwarding on

is there any way of getting secure websockets to work from a apple phone? [Nox](https://downloadnox.com/) [VidMate](https://vidmate.onl/)

Are you using your own certificates?

What are using on 'droid and windows machines to connect to NodeRED?

Could you provide more info on what you setup is?

Absolutely, I use https/wss with my home dashboard. However, that uses uibuilder which itself uses [Socket.IO](http://Socket.IO) rather than raw wss. Not sure if that makes a difference.

@Jacobcullen did you get to the bottom of this?

wws works on iOS however  
However when you secure dashboard via the httpNodeAuth setting  
First time your promoted for login - authenticate - use  
Then when you close the browser Safari or Chrome and try and access Dashboard nothing.

Reverting to http no issue.  
I think this points to wss issue.  
BTW I've installed the NR cert on iOS and verified it which should help but doesn't!
