15.09 iOS support was not official on of the reasons for this is that support 
for Security 2.0 was not exposed of iOS (or Java for that matter).  I would 
recommend that you try with the 16.04a iOS binding as that was officially 
supported, and if you see issues there with security the Core WG will have to 
seriously consider fixing it as that might imply an interoperability issue.

Subject: Re: [Allseen-core] Issues accessing config and onboarding services 
after upgrading to 16.04a

Hello Marcello,

Thank you for providing some information regarding our issue accessing the 
Onboarding and configuration services after our upgrade. It explains why our 
14.12 version of our app didn't work, however we do have a 15.09 version of our 
Alljoyn mobile app running on IOS which is also unable to access these services.

I would assume that as the 15.09 app is able to complete the handshake process 
but is unable to access the onboarding or configuration services is due to a 
permission issue, is this related to not having a policy installed on our 
device running 16.04 thin client? If this is the case how is a policy obtained 
for the thin client device?

Thank you for any further information you can provide on this issue,

Cheers,

Peter

You are correct there are changes in security that are not compatible between 
14.12 and 16.04.  The issue is likely with the Dashboard application, which was 
open sourced 
(https://git.allseenalliance.org/cgit/contributed_applications/dashboard.git/) 
a while back.  Depending on your product requirements you may wish to updated 
the dashboard project to use the new security features.  Unfortunately no one 
is currently maintaining that project, but was made available exactly for 
situations like these.  If you do so it would be great if you upstreamed your 
changes!

Subject: [Allseen-core] Issues accessing config and onboarding services after 
upgrading to 16.04a

Hello All,

I've recently been working on upgrading our smart home products from AJTCL 
version 14.12 to 16.04a and I've ran into issues accessing the onboarding and 
configuration services of the device.

I can access our custom device control panel and control our device through our 
Alljoyn app after the upgrade to 16.04. Our control panel uses an unsecured 
interface, while I believe the configuration and onboarding interfaces are 
secured. This leads me to believe that there is some issue with the security 
settings for our products, as there appear to be significant changes between 
the security of 14.12 and 16.04.

If I bypass calls for authorisation, policy and ACL functions I am able to load 
the config and onboarding services, however this only works with 15.09 or above 
versions of Alljoyn, as the dashboard app running 14.12 asks repeatedly for a 
passcode.

In the logs I've collected from the device I noticed that the function 
AJ_PolicyLoad(); in AJ_PeerHandleExchangeGUIDs returns with error no policy 
found. Could this be causing issues as I'd assume not having a policy would 
prevent access to interface methods for the secured interface.

It appears the interface methods for the onboarding and config services are 
being registered in the access control list as I see this being done as the 
device starts up.

In the device logs I notice that on first attempt to access the onboarding or 
config services, the device and app seem to fail at AJ_PeerHandleKeyExchange(); 
with failed authentication, however restarting the app on the phone and 
reconnecting to the device results in authentication being successful and 
ultimately resulting a successful handshake. The app however will repeatedly 
ask for a passcode when it tries to call an interface method. I also see an 
error on the thin client for FindAccessControlMember: Access table not 
initialized.

Some information on our platform:
OS: MQX 4.1 RTOS
Alljoyn core version: 16.04a
Base service version: 16.04

IOS App versions: 15.09
Android App: Dashboard 14.12
Cipher used is ALLJOYN_ECDHE_PSK

If the issue is with not having a policy for the device please direct me to 
where I can generate one. If it is not related to the policy is it some other 
security issue and is it something that needs to be changed on the thin client 
or mobile app.

Any insight or information would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Peter
