ReadyNAS RNDP4000 unable to access admin page or via share
For some inexplicable reason, my ReadyNAS Pro 4 can't seem to access the admin page anymore, nor can I reach it through a networked drive path. RaidAR can see the unit and reports it being health...

I'm still unable to access the ReadyNAS via a mapped drive ...Enter "turn windows features on or off" in the windows search bar, and then enter the control panel app.
If the SMB 1.0/CIFS client is not enabled, then enable it.

What browser are you using? You will get a certificate warning, though you should be able to click through it.
Also, are you using Windows 10?

I am on Windows 10. I've tried using Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE. They do all have the option to let me ignore the cert warning. When I click to ignore the warning, it tries to go to the page and then immediately boots me back to the certificate error message in every browser.

That has happened to me several time. Each time I have been able to mess around with it and get everthing back on track. I would love to tell you what I do, but I am drawing a blank its been awhile. I belive it has to do with the URL. My address bar will say something like "526X", but if I highlight the URL its acutallly "https://XXX.XX.X.X/admin/" under normal conditions. For some reason there is an interaction between the browser, and the web page that changes the "/admin" at the end of the URL to something else. I'm thinking that I manually change the end of the url back to /admin. Anyway thats my story, and I'm sticking to it. Hope this helps.

Thanks, but sadly, it's something else. I did check the URL to see if it was changing it to something else aside from /admin, but it's staying the same. I went ahead and try allowing all permissions for the URL too, but still no go.

Which firmware are you running (RAIDar would indicate this)?

Are you running an ad blocker? If so, you might try disabling it. Clearing the browser cache is worth a try, though it seems unlikely that would create an issue with four different browsers.
Does https://nas-ip-address/fwbroker respond differently?

I did disable my adblocker on the off chance it was causing it, but the event is still happening with or without it. Trying to go to /fwbroker also gives me the same "NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID" privacy error and if I try to ignore it, it just returns me back to the same error page.
