How To Fix Insecure Connection
Hi,Today, I was going to plus.google.com, and I couldn't because it was a 'Insecure Connection' that had a bad security protocol. Now, obviously, this is a safe site. I also tried just to connect this THIS VERY PAGE (The 'Create a Question' site).I think it wanted a https, but it wasn't.
(although some sites it blockedhad https).How do I get around this?I went to Internet Options and then to Security and then unchecked 'Enable Protected Mode'. It gave me a few warnings but it worked.I don't really want to turn this protection off, so is there another way?Thanks,Tony.
How To Fix Insecure Connection Firefox
I'm leaning towards 'different error' also. Just updated to Firefox 33 and the 'Connection is Untrusted' dialog is unchanged for me.
A change like you're suggesting (removal of user choice for invalid certificates) would break so much on web interfaces across corporate intranets, many parts on the Internet, and especially SOHO devices like cable modems and WiFi routers. It's more likely that there's an actual problem connecting to the server or something. Have you tried other HTTPS sites which have known-invalid certificates?–Oct 15 '14 at 7:04. I had the same issue with Webmin and firefox 33.
When I looked at the SSL certificate that Webmin was using, I found that it was using a 512 bit key! This must have been the default key size when I installed Webmin a couple of years ago.Firefox 33 no longer supports keys less than 1024 bits (with good reason).
SeeYou can fix this right from Webmin if you use another browser that lets you bypass this type of error or if you temporarily disable SSL in webmin by setting ssl=0 in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and restart webmin with '/etc/init.d/webmin restart'. Just login to the Webmin web UI and select: Webmin - Webmin Configuration - SSL Encryption - Self Signed Certificate. Fill in the form (or leave the defaults) and then click the Create Now button.
If you temporarily disabled ssl enable it with ssl=1 in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and restart webmin with '/etc/init.d/webmin restart'. This will update your self-signed certificate for Webmin and you will now be able to access the page from Firefox 33 (With the usual browser warning about an untrusted connection).
