Workaround for ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH problem for Sparc NAS (4.1.x firmware)
This workaround eliminates the redirection of http://nas-name-or-ip/admin to https://nas-name-or-ip/admin for NAS running 4.1.x firmware. It does require ssh to install.

Stephen,
This is quite an interesting thread. I also have a ReadyNAS NV+ that still works well, and i'd quite like to update it to use TLS 1.2. However, I don't know the filename or location in the RNXtras repo for this addon. Can you illuminate me?
Regards,
John
Many thanks to all monitoring this thread!!!
I'm on a Window's 11 machine connecting to a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 running RAIDiator 4.2.31. I managed to get access to Frontview using Firefox 94.0.2 (disabling automatic updates per StephenB as soon as i opened firefox proved essential, in case anyone's struggling with that the way i did)
I have a similar question as did jmzorko, namely, I'm trying to identify the correct file to download then load as a local add-on into Frontview. Following https://rnxtras.com/ i found my way to https://repos.rnxtras.com/debian/. but it's not clear to me exactly which file from the many directories i should use. I rolled the dice and tried all the files i found in https://repos.rnxtras.com/debian/ntgr-r4x86/dists/r4x86/main/binary-i386/, however, "uploading and verifying" from the Add-ons tab resulted in each one giving me an error saying "Update file is not valid for this architecture."
So... I think i'm almost there - i just need to find the right file that will upgrade my NAS to use TLS 1.2. Can anyone point me to the exact file i should use?
Thanks!
Phil
Yep, and playing whack a mole with that update setting will try your patience. I have a portable version of ff 73 that I've seen automatically upgrade to 100+ without my permission as it just likes to sneakily change that setting every so often. My solution was to copy my version of 73 and start with it each time. A royal pita though and since portable ff52 works great for the readynas I don't mess with the later versions for accessing frontview.
SamirD- As previously mentioned, you can also use any version of Firefox just set security.tls.version.min to 1 in about:config. I use Chrome or Edge for everything outside my network and the latest Firefox only for internal LAN for these reasons rather than maintaining a separate install/version.
nutsyboltsy- You can probably get it from his github instead of his debian repo here: https://github.com/rdynsxtrs/rn4bin

Good to know about the setting. Older software always runs so much faster on newer hardware, so I tend to fight any bloatware shoved down my throat. And my ff52 portable doesn't try to auto update so I can leave it and not worry. Good method to differentiate between lan and wan in terms of browsers but I've found every so often you need a specific browser for a specific site. Yes it's 2023 and some sites still play that game...

Though IMO better strategy would be to convert your NAS to run OS-6.
Thanks, StephenB! Worked like a charm. I did get an error at the end of the install but just rebooted the NAS anyway and it gave me an "install successful" message after startup. I think you mentioned that might happen in an earlier post in this thread.
WRT...

... I saw the instructions you posted to do this earlier in the thread and it looks like this requires backing up then reformatting the disks installed on the NAS. I might consider doing this when i have more time but could you explain the benefits of moving to OS-6 now that i'm back up an running through TLS 1.2
I'm glad it's working again.

One important aspect is that OS-6 supports SMB 3.x Microsoft and Apple are both deprecating SMB 1 (which is all 4.2.x supports). At the moment, Microsoft does allow you to re-enable it in Windows. But Microsoft has said that in "some future release" they will remove SMB 1 completely.
OS-6 is still getting security updates (while 4.2.x hasn't had any updates for some years now).
It has other features that 4.2.x doesn't have - the snapshot features built into the BTRFS file system, antivirus scanning, the ability to schedule maintenance functions are three that come to mind. How valuable those are to you depend on how you use your NAS.
