Hello!
I run my own sync server, no account server and it works fine with several users on over 10 different Windows PCs.
For demonstration I am using in this post as URL of the sync server: "https://sub.ownserver.tld" and it has it's correct ( not self signed) ssl certificate from Commodo for sub.ownserver.tld installed.
But I never arrived to make it sync from Android firefox. I am using actual Firefox version 52.xx - I have read from Mozilla Service ....... "To configure Android Firefox 44 and later to talk to your new Sync server, just set the "identity.sync.tokenserver.uri" exactly as above before signing in to Firefox Accounts and Sync on your Android device." ...... and deleted my account on Android Firefox, I uninstalled Android Firefox and reinstalled it - and always before connecting the very, very first time to my existing account I changed:
>>identity.sync.tokenserver.uri <<
from
>>https://token.services.mozilla.com/1.0/sync/1.5<<
to
>> https://sub.ownserver.tld/token/1.0/sync/1.5<<
As above mentioned my own sync server has a correct ssl certificate from Commodo and it shows when connecting to a index.html on the sub domain a green and correct ssl connection!
But there is never, never a working sync connection from different Android devices:
SAMSUNG TAB GT-N5110 - Android-Version 4.4.2
SAMSUNG TAB SM-T677 - Android-Version 5.1.1
SAMSUNG Phone GT-N7100 - Android Version 4.4.2
I tried everything I could think about. I checked the server log files when starting to establish a new connection, but there was nothing to find about a connection from the Android device to the sync server. It ends always that Firefox tells me, that sync is activated but never synced and I can't modify any sync details and in the setup of Android Konten / Accounts there is a firefox account which can be sync and there is a message last sync at 04.13 ....
I add some Android screenshots,.
I hope somebody can help!
Many greetings.
In-the-Night
Firefox for Android
