Generate a certificate????!!!!?!?!?
How in the world can one generate a security certificate with this Hunk of Junk! I have a Readynas NV+ 2V (ARM) and it does not have this Frontview that everyone says will generate the certificate....

Yes I have the exception added to my Firefox, so that's good.
The NV+ v2 is certainly presenting a certificate, but with the default IP address of 192.168.168.168, but this leads me to believe it is not creating a certificate for the NAS configuration.
Understood.
I'm not suggesting that a self-generated certificate with specific IP address is effectively any different to the generic one, merely that it appears to be static, whereas with the Duo v1 it could be created.

The v1 certificate is also self-signed of course. The implication of "self-signed" is that the certificate provides encryption, but it is not useful for authentication.
