sailfish X synology ssl certificate not trusted [not relevant]
On my jolla, I had installed DS Notes, a little tool to access todo notes hosted on my synology home NAS and it worked very well. The NAS is accessible through the "quickconnect" thingy from synology and I also connect to it from my laptop and elsewhere.
On sailfish X, with my Xperia X 5121, where everything else works well, I cannot get DS Notes to connect, as it keeps complaining that my (standard, self-signed) SSL certifcate is not trusted, and it allows no exception. The little DS notes client actually offers to turn https on and off (my NAS forces it to be on), and it also has an option to "validate the certificate" (I have tried that "on" and "off", it made no difference).
I know I can get other certificates, and I have actually tried but encountered problems that probably can be solved. But since it worked on the jolla so easily, why does it nor work on sailfish X?
I don't know how DS Notes is handling certificates, but it is totally intended for your device to distrust self-signed certificates at first (otherwise, everyone could just self-sign arbitrary certificates). Not knowing the App itself, I'd suspect it would be up to the App to offer you to add an exception for accepting the self-signed cert. That's how it works in the "DS Audio" App, if I recall correctly.
So I'd suspect the problem to be related to the App, not the system itself. Can you check if you are using the same version of DS Notes on your Jolla and Xperia X?

I think the version has not changed between the jolla and the experia.
And I was assuming that the security level with the self-signed certificates (after all, I sign them on the NAS itself) was perhaps not to the highest standards but at a "reasonable level", imagining that synology would not propose it if this wasn't the case.
