Secure connection failed in Webmin

Secure connection failed in Webmin

How to bypass the “secure connection failed” warning in Firefox 33

Firefox 33 no longer supports keys less than 1024 bits

You can fix this right from Webmin if you:

use another browser that lets you bypass this type of error or
if you temporarily disable SSL in webmin by setting
```
ssl=0
```
in
```
/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
```
and restart webmin with
```
/etc/init.d/webmin restart
```
or
login to the Webmin 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. If you temporarily disabled ssl enable it with
```
ssl=1
```
in
```
/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
```
and restart webmin with
```
/etc/init.d/webmin restart
```
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).
