I just upgraded from 9.2.1.7 to 9.3-release. After performing the upgrade, I decided to try using https instead of http to serve the web pages on my LAN.
After the config file change to default to https, Firefox has begun to issue "Untrusted Connection" errors. Oh, how I hate Firefox for doing this.
In case you're not familiar with the problem: instead of loading the page, Firefox makes you jump through all sorts of hoops to download security certificates from the server. Then, Firefox imposes it's own arbitrary standards about whether it is willing to trust them, and makes you jump through another set of hoops to try to add a security exception so that the errors don't continue. The real problem is with Firefox -- I've never been able to get it to store a security exception. No matter what, Firefox throws a wrench in the works.
At present this is what things look like: (see attachment)
The problem is that Firefox refuses to accept self-signed security certificates like the one that Freenas uses. The only way to deal with the problem is to add an exception for the certificate, but Firefox never allows me to permanently store the exception. This means that I'm forced to deal with the problem all over again every time that firefox is rebooted and I try to access the administrative panel using Firefox.
Does anyone have a solution to this Firefox problem?
TIA
