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...

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.
