Application can't connect to servers with 8096 bit keys (Osstatus error -9808)

[ghost]

Our mumble server cert was recently updated due to drama regarding the heartbleed bug and decided for the hell of it to up the key size to 8096 bit RSA. However, now iphone clients all get the same error message when they try and connect: Osstatus error -9808.

👍 This issue is affecting me as well. It's crazy that this bug can go ignored without any response from the mumble team for over a year.

Unfortunately, it seems the mumble project is lacking in manpower for
ios development.

As a workaround, just make sure your mumble server certificate keysize
does not exceed 4096 and ios clients should be able to connect.

this project is clearly pretty dead, someone needs to pick up maintaining it. Plumble is great on android.

This problem here is that SecureTransport does not seem to support 8096 bit RSA. So it's out of our hands. Ideally, we'd switch to an architecture where more code is shared with the main client -- but that's not how things are at the moment.

Also, we're not only lacking in manpower in iOS. It's pretty much everywhere. Which is very unfortunate, but that's the way it is. Any help we can get is much appreciated.

I know how that feels, I might end up tackling the lack of an ICE maintainer on Fedora that's keeping mumbe out of the repos over there, its annoying.

Its a shame that we are limited to 4096 bit keys right now, its not bad yet, but give it a few years. Its amazing how much use the Iphone client gets, enough that removing it as a possibility its out of the question.
