Jul 27, 2020Readynas duo V2 unable to access admin page
Hi All Noticed 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. ...

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?

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 đ§ Online, RAID Level 0 , Single disk, 0% of 921 GB usedI 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.

This is a V1.
A V2 runs 5.3.x firmware (not 4.1.x). Plus it says Duo v2 on the front panel. Your's just says Duo.
There is an add-on that fully solves this problem for the V2. But unfortunately not for the V1 you have.

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
(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:
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.
