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...
I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 with firmware 4.2.30.
In your post you say your procedure is for 4.1.x firmware ... does it work also for 4.2.30 firmware?

I haven't tested it (my 4.2.x Pro 6 was converted to OS-6 before this issue began). If you have a 4.2.x system that can be converted to OS-6 (not an NVX and some rackmount models), then I recommend doing that instead. That also gives you SMB 3.0, and several other features not in 4.2.x.
That said, I think my procedure will work on 4.2.x also.
The add-on that sonvolt99 refers to can be found here:
Note you can do both (making the change to allow frontview access from http w/o redirection, but also allowing https with TLS 1.2 to be used).
Thanks. I managed to solve it ... at least good enough for me. This is what I did.
1) I installed an old version (ver 91) of firefox on a usb-stick. This gave me access to the readynas admin web-page.
2) I installed https://github.com/rdynsxtrs/rn4bin/blob/main/apache2/x86/Apache2_2.2.34-x86-0.2.0.bin
as an add-on using the admin web-page. (FYI, I got an installation error at the end as somebody else also pointed out but after restarting the nas it seems ok).
After these two steps I now have access from my normal chrome-browser.
Stephen,
This is quite an interesting thread. I also have a ReadyNAS NV+ that still works well, and i'd quite like to update it to use TLS 1.2. However, I don't know the filename or location in the RNXtras repo for this addon. Can you illuminate me?
Regards,
John
There is no SSL update for the NV+ V1 or Duo V1. Their unique SPARC processor makes it very difficult to to compile any update today. The only solution for those systems it to allow HTTP access to FrontView.
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!
Phil
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.
