Firefox will not browse PowerConnect 3254

Hello,


Whenever I try and browse to my PowerConnect 3254 via HTTPs my FireFox returns the following error:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to 192.x.y.z. The server certificate included a public key that was too weak. (Error code: ssl_error_weak_server_cert_key)

Microsoft Edge simply returns "Hmm, we can't reach this page" and yields no further information.


I have tried following the commands in these two posts to generate the RSA keys: www.dell.com/.../HOW10441

and: http://www.stevejenkins.com/blog/2011/05/dell-powerconnect-5324-setup-tasks/

I have essentially ran:

  • crypto certificate 1 generate key-generate 2048 duration 1825
  • crypto key generate rsa
  • crypto key generate dsa
  • ip https certificate 1
  • (and a few others which I don't recall)
What am I doing wrong? any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you, Josh.

I also found another article which contained a missing step in the configuration:

ip https authentication local

Once this was in place, everything started working properly and the certificates that were previously generated seemed to be actually used.

Hi,

After creating the certificates the advanced option should allow you to bypass the error.

You may also want to try to change some of the SSL3 options support.mozilla.org/.../1070117
