Congratulations to the Axosoft team for the release of OnTime 2009 9.1 and especially for the IPhone client app on the Apple ITunes Store that was released few hours ago!

I downloaded the app from the App Store and it installed in seconds.  Running for the first time, I was presented with the set up screen where I had to specify the URL of where the WEB server installation for OnTime for us here at Falafel Software was installed.  I found really quickly that the server required SSL to use the Client from IPhone, which we do not require for our Web installation.

Spending less than a minute in the HELP of OnTime 9.1 directed me to the Web.Config file of the Web installation where the SSL feature for IPhone is turned on by default.  Change that line to false as shown below in your Web.Config file and you will be ready to go.

<add key="RequireIPhoneSSL" value="false" />

But to be secure I encourage everyone to run this IPhone app over SSL for security as passing username and passwords over the wire can be very easily sniffed without SSL.  It cost less than $30 per year and will take minutes to install the certificate on the server for this to work.

Congrats again Hamid and Team at Axosoft!
