Frontview for Mac Mini pro M4 OS15.2
I have an RNDP6310-200 – ReadyNAS® Pro 6 and a new Mac Mini pro M4 using OS15.2. I am able to connect to shares on the server but not frontview to configure it. I have downloaded Raidar 6.5 and the latest Java. I am getting an error message when launching Raidar the it could not load JRE. How can I configure the server settings?

You don't need RAIDar to reach Frontview. You can just browse to https://nas-ip-address/admin (using the real NAS IP address of course).
You might also try installing Java from here:
Have you converted the NAS to run OS-6?
If it is still running OS 4.2, you need to use FireFox, and set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting). Otherwise you will get an SSL version/Cipher Mismatch error in the browser.
Once in, you can install this add-on to get TLS 1.2 support on the NAS. That will let you reach frontview with any browser.
Though I recommend converting your NAS to OS-6 - I can give you instructions here if you want to do that.

Stephen,
I cannot get RAIDar to work on a new M4 Pro Mini either. Even downloading from the Java link above did not work.
Also tried uninstalling Java completely (any prior instances) restarting, re-installing etc... tried terminal install of Rosetta, reboot...
No combination seems to work for me any longer. (It always worked fine on my old/previous Intel based Mac Minis)
I realize it is NOT required to access the files/admin it via the web GUI, but if you have several ReadyNAS on the network it does make things a lot more convemient.
Would love to hear from someone who can get RAIDar working on a new M4 Mac what you did or how you got it to work (if it is even possible). I DO think if you migrate from an older Mac it MAY still work (I think SandShark noted something to that effect) but a clean or fresh install of MacOS appears to break that functionality
Would love to hear from someone who can get RAIDar working on a new M4 Mac
I'm not a Mac user, so not something I can help with.
Hopefully someone else who has an M4 Mac will respond.
