Description

Description:

I would like to install client certificate from https://badssl.com/download/

Environment Information:
  • Rocket.Chat Server Version: N/A
  • Rocket.Chat App Version: 4.13.22189
  • Device Name: Sony Xperia
  • OS Version: Android 8
Steps to reproduce:

Try to install certificate:

But system doesn't allow to load p12 cert format:

Only pem file extension is user able to select, but that will return error "No certificate to install".

Expected behavior:

P12 or pem client cert will be loaded successfully.

IMHO code should allow to load different file extensions used for client certificate (p12, pem, crt, pfx, ...), not just one com.rsa.pkcs-12 UTType:

Research direction

Start with app/utils/sslPinning.js at the linked file and inspect how the certificate picker handles the com.rsa.pkcs-12 type. Reproduce the Android 8 case using the certificate files from badssl.com/download/. Done means supported p12 or pem client certificates load successfully instead of producing the reported selection error.
