Secure connection failed in Webmin
How to bypass the “secure connection failed” warning in Firefox 33
Firefox 33 no longer supports keys less than 1024 bits
You 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
or - login to the Webmin 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 withssl=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).
