Trusting Self-Signed Certificates in iOS 10

It appears that Apple has removed (or hidden) the ability to trust SSL certificates that are self-signed.

We host our own mail server with a self-signed certificate and previously we could manually trust the certificate on iOS devices. Now, users get prompted that the certificate is not trusted, we can only see details or cancel, there's no longer an option to trust it. As a result, they have difficulty sending or receiving mail from the iOS 10 devices.

Anyone know a workaround for this?

What fixed this issue from my iPhone for me was going to Settings -> General -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings, and there is a section called "ENABLE FULL TRUST FOR ROOT CERTIFICATES". Under it lists the certificate that I installed on my iPhone. Once I enabled that, I'm good to go.

How did you delete just the SMTP server? I can only configure IMAP and SMTP together...

Hi Lawrence are you saying it should be fixed now with the 10.3.2 update?

I had seen a post from another user saying it was fixed. I have no direct knowledge.

I do not think this is an option anymore in iOS 10.3.3

It doesn't give me the option to "trust"

We haven't had issues as long as you rebuild the mail account AND delete the old smtp server in the process. Then you get the option to Trust, and it has been working fine since.
