Problem loading switch interface in Chrome on Mac

[Eric Stern]

Good to know. The next version of the firmware will create the certificate with the above fix, so the manual step won't be required for units shipped with v1.0.2 or later. Pre-1.0.2 units that are upgraded will still need it though.

That did it! Thank you very much. Very nice to be able to use Chrome on the Mac now! Thank you again!

Is there a way that this will be addressed by default on the new units shipping with updated firmware similar to what you mentioned on the Linux front? Not that this is particularly onerous but it would be nice not to have to mess with it.

Unfortunately the procedure still hasn't solved the issue on Chrome on the Mac. While the date of the certificate is correct now, with it expiring in 2024, I still receive a NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID error stating:


I received this message after updating to the newest firmware and running the command posted in the thread, which seemed to successfully update the certificate since it now displays a new date.

Any ideas? Would really like to be able to use the Mac and Chrome to monitor the switches.

Thanks.

Chrome on Mac OS is really fussy. Anyways, I was able to get it working by using this command (just a small change from the above one):

openssl req -new -x509 -keyout /etc/config/lighttpd.pem -out /etc/config/lighttpd.pem -days 3650 -nodes -subj "/C=US"

Of course make sure the time is correct on the switch before doing that.
After that you need to restart the web server (so it loads the new certificate) with this command:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Then reload the webpage in Chrome and it should allow you to continue.

Yes, new units will not have this problem.
