Workaround for ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH problem for Sparc NAS (4.1.x firmware)
This workaround eliminates the redirection of http://nas-name-or-ip/admin to https://nas-name-or-ip/admin for NAS running 4.1.x firmware. It does require ssh to install.
Entering https://nas-na...

Many thanks to all monitoring this thread!!!
I'm on a Window's 11 machine connecting to a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 running RAIDiator 4.2.31. I managed to get access to Frontview using Firefox 94.0.2 (disabling automatic updates per StephenB as soon as i opened firefox proved essential, in case anyone's struggling with that the way i did)
I have a similar question as did jmzorko, namely, I'm trying to identify the correct file to download then load as a local add-on into Frontview. Following https://rnxtras.com/ i found my way to https://repos.rnxtras.com/debian/. but it's not clear to me exactly which file from the many directories i should use. I rolled the dice and tried all the files i found in https://repos.rnxtras.com/debian/ntgr-r4x86/dists/r4x86/main/binary-i386/, however, "uploading and verifying" from the Add-ons tab resulted in each one giving me an error saying "Update file is not valid for this architecture."
So... I think i'm almost there - i just need to find the right file that will upgrade my NAS to use TLS 1.2. Can anyone point me to the exact file i should use?
Thanks!

Yep, and playing whack a mole with that update setting will try your patience. I have a portable version of ff 73 that I've seen automatically upgrade to 100+ without my permission as it just likes to sneakily change that setting every so often. My solution was to copy my version of 73 and start with it each time. A royal pita though and since portable ff52 works great for the readynas I don't mess with the later versions for accessing frontview.

SamirD- As previously mentioned, you can also use any version of Firefox just set security.tls.version.min to 1 in about:config. I use Chrome or Edge for everything outside my network and the latest Firefox only for internal LAN for these reasons rather than maintaining a separate install/version.
nutsyboltsy- You can probably get it from his github instead of his debian repo here: https://github.com/rdynsxtrs/rn4bin

Good to know about the setting. Older software always runs so much faster on newer hardware, so I tend to fight any bloatware shoved down my throat. And my ff52 portable doesn't try to auto update so I can leave it and not worry. Good method to differentiate between lan and wan in terms of browsers but I've found every so often you need a specific browser for a specific site. Yes it's 2023 and some sites still play that game...
