Certificate Problem

[EFH]

   

Hi,  I have a LinkStation Mini with 1.05 firmware.  For web access to the LinkStation I use buffalonas.com with upnp.  After I enter the name of the LinkStation, and before the login prompt, I always get a certificate warning.  I am able to ignore the warning, and proceed with the login, so it's mostly an inconvenience to have the certificate problem.

 

The certificate is from Internet Widgits Pty Ltd.  I looked at several other threads, and tried giving the LinkStation a static IP, disabled upnp, and opened up port 9000 on the router to the port on the LinkStation.  Reinitialized the LinkStation and the router, and then tried logging in with the same results.  Another post had indicated that this would somehow regnerate the LinkStation's certificate, but it didn't.

 

Internet Explorer flags this and says:

The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.

The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

Firefox says:

192.168.5.199:9000 uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
The certificate is not valid for any server names.

(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

Safari flags the error too, but let's me look at and export the certificate which is where I found the Internet Widgits Pty Ltd name.

Ideas on how to get browsers to accept a (hopefully) valid certificate from the LinkStation without a login hassle?

check out the set up link, try disabling upnp and point it to port 9000, and forward it from the router to the NAS.

I still get the same security certificate error when accessing the LinkStation Mini from the internet using the buffalonas.com web site.  As suggested in the reply:

 

• I upgraded the LinkStation Mini to Firmware v 1.06
• I configured the LinkStation Mini with a static IP address.
• I configured the internet router to forward TCP port 9000 to port 9000 at the LinkStation Mini static IP address .
• I disabled uPNP on the router and on the LinkStation Mini.

However, when I browse to the buffalonas.com web site and specify the NAS server name, I still get the same security certificate warning as before.  If I ignore the Internet Explorer 8 certificate error warning and log in, the address bar remains red, and if I click on the certificate icon on the address bar, a popup tells me that the CA Root certificate is not to be trusted, and if I click on View Certificates, a popup tells me that the certificate is issued by Internet Widgits PTY Ltd.

 

I can access the NAS just fine via the local network using the BUFFALO NAS Navigator2 application.

 

I know very little about certificates, and I have employees who routinely need to access the NAS from the internet.  So I'm still stuck on trying to understand how to access a LinkStation Mini from the internet using the buffalonas.com website without getting a certificate error.

   I have problem to map my Link Station share folder. I can access Link station configuration SW with IP address from the browser and can make a settings to this SW but I cannot see it from the Windows Explorer. When I try to map share drive it not shows in the Workgroup and if I wrote the path: \\link_station\shre, the error message is: network path is not found. Please share information for this problem.

Try mapping it by the IP address only. \\ipaddress
