Dick, I had seen an advanced settings in the middle of the page, but not the one at the very bottom. That's what I missed. However, ... When I navigate to the "https/ssl" settings all I can do is view them. There is no mechanism to change from ssl version 3 to version 2, despite what that web page suggests. I'll get the open source chromium from Alien BOB's web site and replace the Google Chrome with it. That'll solve the problem.

Try the Network - Change Proxy Settings (depends on OS). The SSL settings location in Chrome and chromium should be the same for the same major build version. I run into this sometimes as well, and on Firefox. You may end up getting kicked out of some site that required ssl3 however. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

If history is a guide, someone will probably see some error in my thinking here, but here's what I tried. Google foo: Google chrome ssl revert to 2.0 Result page: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95572?hl=en That looks like you were on the right track, but didn't go deep enough. But, since I don't use Chrome, I don't have a way to test it. -- Regards, Dick Steffens ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
[PLUG] Fix SSL Error in Chrome Browser
One laptop here running Slackware-14.1/x86_64 has Google Chrome as a web browser. Several sites are inaccessible because of this error: err_ssl_protocol_err. (FWIW, I run chromium and it does not have this issue, but the laptop's user needs the closed-source chrome for some purpose.) My web searches find all sorts of Microsoft users with this problem. The only solution I saw said to find the options page and change SSL to v2.0; apparently v3.0 is the default that's a vulnerable version not accepted by many sites. My question is how to find the options page so I can change SSL to the more secure version. Clicking on the icon with 3 horizontal lines offers 'settings' but there's nothing on there about security. Help needed. Rich ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
