Generate SSL certificate on ReadyNAS 100 Series RN10200
How can I (re)generate the SSL certificate under OS6. I have changed the IP address for the SSL Key Host on the admin page for system/settings/services and succesfully applied the change. However the ...
It changed on my RN102, but the security error doesn't go away. Instead it just changes to
"You attempted to reach rn102, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as nas-xx-xx-xx.local. "
There's a bug in 6.0.4, it is not using the currently configured host name (or letting you enter a host name). Instead it regenerates the certificate using the default factory host name.
Though honestly, it is usually not worth the trouble even if it did regenerate using the right host name and the IP address - especially if you access your NAS locally and also using a ddns name. Browser security tightens over time, and one aspect many browser folks are getting pickier about is warning users about self-signed certificates like the ReadyNAS uses. If you want the error to disappear, use firefox and enter a security exception - that is by far the simplest way. Otherwise, just click through the error with whatever browser you use.
