Accessing FrontView from Safari
I am an Apple user, and access my two ReadyNASes from my Mac computers. However, using Safari and/or Safari Technology Preview, I cannot. It works fine using Chrome or FireFox, but since I use Safari...

Can you post the firmware you are running?

The error I get is that "This Connection Is Not Private". I click "show details", and then "visit this website", I am asked user name and password to confirm accepting the certificate
I'm not a mac user, and haven't seen this on windows systems. Hopefully mac users here will be able to help.
I did want to point out the user/password pop-up isn't about accepting the cert. It's the log in into the NAS admin UI.

No, there are two different kinds of user name/ID. The one you mean, to log into FrontView, is quite different than the one to accept the override the error...

So you are entering the Mac user/password to allow the exception? Interesting, I haven't seen that.
The only time I use safari is on my ipads (and even there I generally use Chrome).

Yes, I allow the exception, and then it's like it goes in a circle, and right back again.
Unfortunately all my Macs are on High Sierra, so it could be a beta issue, I don't know.

...and when I check the certificate, it says the self-signed root certificate is marked as truseted for that IP.
hmmmmm
Like I said, it could be a FrontView / Certificate / High Sierra Safari issue.
