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.

Thanks, StephenB! Worked like a charm. I did get an error at the end of the install but just rebooted the NAS anyway and it gave me an "install successful" message after startup. I think you mentioned that might happen in an earlier post in this thread.
WRT...

... I saw the instructions you posted to do this earlier in the thread and it looks like this requires backing up then reformatting the disks installed on the NAS. I might consider doing this when i have more time but could you explain the benefits of moving to OS-6 now that i'm back up an running through TLS 1.2
I'm glad it's working again.

One important aspect is that OS-6 supports SMB 3.x Microsoft and Apple are both deprecating SMB 1 (which is all 4.2.x supports). At the moment, Microsoft does allow you to re-enable it in Windows. But Microsoft has said that in "some future release" they will remove SMB 1 completely.
OS-6 is still getting security updates (while 4.2.x hasn't had any updates for some years now).
It has other features that 4.2.x doesn't have - the snapshot features built into the BTRFS file system, antivirus scanning, the ability to schedule maintenance functions are three that come to mind. How valuable those are to you depend on how you use your NAS.
