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....

I think aks is just wanting a control which regenerates the self-signed cert to matches its current IP address.
It's not something I care about myself (I haven't bothered to regenerate the certs on any of my NAS, and they are all mismatched with their reserved IP addresses). Since I access the NAS both over the internet and locally, the IP mismatch warning in the browser is going to happen sometimes anyway.
As far as creating the exception - "always accept" is easy to do in FireFox, but it's not so simple with IE or Chrome. Marto73 posted the procedure for them a few couple of posts up, and is looking for feedback. Though the articles include a little OS6 stuff, most of the material is on the mechanics of getting IE/Chrome to trust the NAS self-signed cert. That applies to any ReadyNAS.
