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 ...
Mileage varies here, if its worth the trouble for you, then go for it. There is a bug in OS 6.0.4, it is on Netgear's fix list and hopefully will be in 6.0.5.
As I said the bigger picture is that solution has become more troublesome and troublesome as time as gone on. Only Firefox has the easy security exception mechanism, and it won't store those certificates - it just remembers that they are exceptions. Personally I think that is the best approach to the problem, having normal end-users messing with root certificate authorities is not a good way to achieve security overall. I wish other browser vendors would pick that mechanism up. It is simple, and avoids the man-in-the-middle attack threat if the users pay reasonable attention to the initial warning.
I access my ReadyNAS units remotely using a common ddns domain name and different ports. Manually installing certs tends to be more problematic there - as far as I know the browsers can't handle multiple certs for the same url. As far as admin shortcuts, I've always used bookmarks, so that's not something I care about.
Chrome uses the OS browser certificate store btw, so if you are trying to fix that on a Windows machine you need to essentially fix it in IE. On a Mac or iDevice you'd need to fix it in Safari. And Chrome won't export the certs either.
