sec_error_invalid_key with WEBMIN

[yoram]

Hi. I'm running my ubuntu server for more than two years with version 12.04.
Lately (after some update??) I can't access WEBMIN. The error message is:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to simba:10000. The key does not support the requested operation. (Error code: sec_error_invalid_key)

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

I have no problem accessing DELUGE, or open a terminal window (putty)

I have tried to restart and reinstall webmin but without any luck

Suggestions??

Thanks, Yoram

Now I found this post

And this is the solution, from http://earthwithsun.com/questions/82623 ... firefox-33

Firefox 33 no longer supports keys less than 1024 bits (with good reason). See site compatibility

You can fix this right from Webmin if you use another browser that lets you bypass this type of error. Just login to the Webmin web UI and select: Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> SSL Encryption -> Self Signed Certificate. Fill in the form (or leave the defaults) and then click the Create Now button. This will update your self-signed certificate for Webmin and you will now be able to access the page from Firefox 33 (With the usual browser warning about an untrusted connection).

I opened webmin using chrome and followed the procedure.
