  • Resurrecting this ancient post of mine to say that I finally figured this out. The problem was that my internal certificate on the Bitwarden server had a validity period of several years. When I read an article about the time limitations Apple imposed in iOS for certificates, it clicked that this might be the problem even though the errors I was getting were seemingly unrelated.

    Sure enough, I changed the cert to one with a 1 year expiration and the app works fine on my iPhone now.

    Just posting this in case anyone else stumbles across this post after seeing the same kind of errors. I still don’t like that Apple arbitrarily imposed this limit on my own device with my own server and my own CA, but it’s easy enough to work around.





  • They are making Cloud Microsoft sysadmins, as opposed to on-premises sysadmins. Which means the new crop of admins are just high tier application admins, and have no idea how to manage infrastructure, configure hardware, or actually troubleshoot problems with the application, since they don’t have access to it at that level. All of this makes businesses more and more reliant on the cloud, which is exactly what these providers want.


  • These companies are so short sighted. They are destroying the ability for the people who might push this software for use in a business environment to use it at home, test it out, learn it. This depletes the pool of experts and supporters that would expand their product’s use over time.

    Microsoft and VMware are the worst offenders at the moment. I feel if you’re a competent on-premises Microsoft sysadmin you’ll have work for the rest of your life, because they aren’t MAKING on-premises Microsoft sysadmins anymore.
