On attempting to connect to my router's configuration interface, I get Secure Connection Failed

When connecting to my local router's configuraton webpage, I get a "Secure Connection Failed" Error message. "The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." No SSL error is shown, so I am unable to track it further. I just did a full distribution upgrade but it appears that Seamonkey also exhibits this behavior as well. Restarting safe mode did nothing, so I am at a loss.

Sounds that your router doesn't send a full certificate chain that ends with a Firefox built-in root certificate.

Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.

You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.

  • Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"

Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".

  • Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.

You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

Thank's for the response, but that isn't it. I even cleared cert8.db and have no luck, but I did find some useful information. When logging in via w3m (A separate text based web browser) it needs confirmation for a self signed certificate, which I grant, but then also needs confirmation for a "bad cert ident" followed by what I believe is the router MAC address. Once I allow the "bad cert Ident", I can log in as usual. I now need only a way to tell firefox accept a certificate with that identity.
