Hi AllNoticed that I am unable to login to the admin page using RaidR or through the IP address. I used to get a message as it didnt have a secure certiticate but now I can't even bypass that. I get the following message in Edge and Chrome... Your connection isn't secureThis site uses an outdated security configuration that might expose your personal information when it's sent to this site (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).NET::ERR_SSL_OBSOLETE_VERSION If I click continue (unsafe) it returns me back to the page... Is there anyway I can bypass this?Thanks

For those who are interested: https://github.com/rdynsxtrs/r5bin/tree/master/apache2 Updates the Apache web server on the ReadyNAS to v2.2.34Enables TLSv1.2Disables TLSv1 and TLSv1.1Have fun-Stefan

There is an add-on that fully solves this problem for the V2. But unfortunately not for the V1 you have. mitchathame wrote: I posted my comment because not being a Unix buff I was just wanting a quick and easy way off opening front view on my computer. Installing obsolete browsers creates other risks (particularly if you accidently use them to access other sites on the internet). Other (IMO better) options you have are to (a) run Edge in IE mode to access frontview https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/internet-explorer-mode-in-microsoft-edge-6604162f-e38a-48b2-acd2-682dbac6f0de (b) use current FireFox with a small configuration change. Set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting). (c) use the workaround for 4.1.x systems in post 5 of this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Workaround-for-ERR-SSL-VERSION-OR-CIPHER-MISMATCH-problem-for/td-p/2198243 The directions for (c) do not require any knowledge of Linux. After the patch is made, then you will be able to access frontview using http (not https) from any browser.

Retired_Member Have you tried using Firefox? and setting it up with exception? or using an older version might work. HTH

One is that the apache web server in the NAS explicitly redirects to https. If that can be undone, then access would be retained (using http instead of https). I believe that in OS 4.2 this requires a change in virtual.conf, but I haven't tried it, or figured out if the change would be sticky. I also haven't looked at 4.1 (and since I don't have a v2 NAS I can't check OS 5) This would (IMO) be the best solution. Though the firmware itself is end-of-life, Netgear (or potentially someone else like WhoCares_ ) could provide an add-on that would apply this change. Another is to update apache so it uses a version of TLS that isn't being deprecated. This would be better of course, but it definitely is more work, and might require Netgear to back-port changes. Using firefox might work at the moment, but it won't work longer term. All browser vendors are dropping support for TLS 1.1 - see for instance this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/browsers-to-block-access-to-https-sites-using-tls-1-0-and-1-1-starting-this-month/ This includes removing the "click through" that is currently possible. Installing an out-of-date browser to access the NAS would of course work, as long as you were careful to prevent it from being automatically updated. There is a way to disable checking for updates in the FireFox preferences. But you'd need to be careful not to use that browser to access the internet.

There is no way to enable admin HTTP access in the OS5.x GUI. Editing /etc/frontview/apache/Virtual.conf also doesn't do the whole job. It turns off the re-direct, but you then get an error 400 that HTTPS is required. If anyone has any ideas where to look to get around this, I'll be happy to give it a try.

Just by accident i found the following while trying to creat a Unix Live disk from an old PCplus 276 software disk.

Accessing the disk brought up its own version of IEexplorer and using this version i was able to connect to the frontview page. as normal.

I dont know if this can give someone more technical an insight into how to set this up or how this can help others , but if anyone wants more details ill try an anwer any questions.

  Not sure why you added this to a 2-year thread.
  
  I am thinking you likely were running into the "ERR-SSL-VERSION-OR-CIPHER-MISMATCH" error. There are other workarounds - it'd be useful to know what firmware you are running if you want more info on this.

    Hi details are
    Readynas V1 V2?
    
    Model: ReadyNAS Duo

    Firmware: RAIDiator 4.1.16 [1.00a043]
    Memory: 256 MB [2.5-3-3-7]
    MAC address: 00:24:B2:03:11:10
    IPv4 address:: 192.168.2.172
    Volume C: Online, RAID Level 0 , Single disk, 78% of 1845 GB used
    Volume 😧 Online, RAID Level 0 , Single disk, 0% of 921 GB used
    
    I posted my comment because not being a Unix buff I was just wanting a quick and easy way off opening front view on my computer. I have copied the iexplorer.exe file from the PCPLUS disk and have used it on other computers in my network to successfully login to frontview.
    I just run iexplorer.exe it says cant fid PCplus file, Click Ok, enter readynas address/admin it comes back with protocol failure and allows you to change settings . Change settings to tick TLS 1.0 Then it all works OK.
    The next time I run the iexplorer file it allows me to connect straight away.
    I just thought this may be a welcome work around for others non Unix masters to know about
    If there is an easy non unix expert way to allow me to log on im more than willing to try but ive not managed to find it.
    
    Ah the best
