"Invalid Certificate Error" messages in Windows 10
I'm having problems with "Invalid Certificate Error" messages in Windows 10. I see the suggestion that I should not use the HTTPS protocol. I would like to turn that off, but I can't figure out how t...
The first question here is whether you need https. If you are accessing the NAS over the internet, the answer is yes. Even with the self-signed certificate error, the connection is still encrypted.
It is true that you cannot disable https on the Pro (in my view that is a good thing, but opinions might vary).
What browser are you using? Edge?
FWIW, the simplest way to deal with the cert issue is to use FireFox.
I don't normally use a browser, just filemanager. I treat the NAS as much as possible like a local drive. Just //NASname/pathname/filename to reach any file I want. I have shorcuts to my most frequently used folders and a well-organized folder structure.
FWIW, my default browser is Chrome. I may go to Edge someday, but not until it supports add-ins.
My ReadyNAS model number is RNDU4000, it is a plain ReadyNAS 4 Ultra, not a PRO. Is there still no way to disable the HTTPS protocol?
My pro is running 4.2.28-T6.
//NASname/pathname/filename doesn't give me a certificate error in windows 10 - it works the same as win 7. Edge (like Chrome) gives a certificate warning I need to click through, but works fine after that.
Are you seeing different behavior?
