To login via Username and Password, you can simply fill out the login mask with the corresponding credentials.

To login via an external identity provider, you have to fill out the simplifier server address first and then click on the options button below.

In the following popup, choose the pre-configured Identity Provider and login via the redirected external login page

By activating the “Save Login” Switch, your favorite Identity Provider will be stored in the secure password store of the mobile operating system and remembered for the next login.

Login with invalid SSL Certificates or insecure connections

Normally you should operate the simplifier server with a valid, certified SSL Certificate. In case of expired ssl certificates, self-signed certificates or no ssl at all, the connection from mobile client to server can’t be established due security restrictions.

To login in such a situation, you can enable the developer mode with several clicks on the simplifier logo see video below:

Mutual SSL via Client Certificate

Platform: iOS

Select a certificate

• open the Simplifier Client on your iOS device
• select “Options”
• select option “Certificate”
• select a certificate alias or “No certificate” to return to default

If only “No certificate” is visible, follow the next step to import one.

Import a client certificate

The certificates need to be PKCS 12-Formatted and the file ending changed to “.sc” (e. g. mycert.pfx -> mycert.sc).

Client certificates imported with the iOS system are not available for the Simplifier Client-App, thus they need to be imported with one of the following ways.

Option 1 send file via Airdrop:

The easiest way to send the certificate to an iOS devices is to send it via Airdrop.

• rename the file ending to .sc (example: mycert.crt to mycert.sc)
• right click mycert.sc
• select “Share” -> “Airdrop”
• select target device (make sure Airdrop is enabled)
• on the device an “Open with…” popup will open
• click on “Simplifier” to start the import
• Input an alias / nickname and a password if the file is protected
• Press confirm to save the import

Option 2 Download from Url

If you have the certificate hosted on a server, continue here.

• upload the client certificate to  a trusted source and save the url
• “Certificate name:” choose an alias / nickname for your file
• “URL” enter the url of your certificate you’ve uploaded in the first step
• provide a “Certificate Password” if your certificate is protected
• Press “Confirm” to start the import

If the import worked, the certificate is now listed under it’s alias.

Option 3 as file via Email

You can send the certificate yourself via Email and open it from the attachment.

• rename the file ending to .sc (example: mycert.crt to mycert.sc)
• attach the file to an email on another computer and send it to your device
• tap the “mycert.cs” file from the attachment
• the client opens and an import dialog opens
• provide an alias / nickname an a password if the file is protected
• Press “Confirm” to start the import

Delete a certificate

• open the Simplifier Client on your iOS device
• select “Show more login options”
• select option “Certificate”
• swipe one of the installed certificates left to reveal the delete option
