When I try to open a webpage, I get an ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key
error in Firefox.
According to my googling the keys are weak, there is a security hole, I'm not safe, etc. Great, Firefox protects me. My only problem is that this is an intranet connection, so I'm pretty sure that nobody will try to hack me, IT just didn't update that server in a long time.
If I remember right in previous versions (I don't exactly know which versions, but then the error message included a yellow sign with a police officer too. Now I'm on 39.0) Firefox had an option to accept such connections. Is there a hidden way to still accept insecure connections like this? Maybe something in about:config
that I can temporarily change manually?
The better fix is to ask IT to update it! +1 – Dave – 2015-07-15T07:50:30.107
Sure. Let's assume that I need to access that page a little faster than IT solves problems. :) – ytg – 2015-07-15T08:03:00.087
Does a different browser not work then to get the data faster? In IE, can you add it to a safe zone or does the issue still persist – Dave – 2015-07-15T08:17:51.680
I don't have IE, I'm on Linux. But I'll try Chrome to see if it helps. – ytg – 2015-07-15T08:20:02.160
Chrome still seems to have an option to manually approve going to unsecure sites. – ytg – 2015-07-15T08:26:18.383
