Hello all,

I use the SM2.1 nightlies at work and since a few days I get the
following error when login to my company portal:

Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to login.portal.<company>.com.
Renegotiation is not allowed on this SSL socket.
(Error code: ssl_error_renegotiation_not_allowed)

As far as I know, nothing has changed there, nor in the certificates I
use (mine and the cert authority, which is in this case my company).

When I use Firefox 3.6, I don't get the error, although I have the same
certificates setup.

Any hint regarding the cause ? anything I can do to avoid this issue ?
Thanks for the help

Dom,
(and yes, I must be brave at heart to use the nightlies for my work :-) )

Mmm, I guess a little goolging never hurts:
https://developer.mozilla.org/NSS_3.12.5_release_notes

All SSL3/TLS renegotiation is disabled by default in NSS 3.12.5, which is used in bleeding-edge Mozilla stuff...
Good to know...

Is there a way to disable this feature for a domain, a destination ? temporarily ?

I see there that " If an application depends on renegotiation feature, it can be enabled by setting the environment variable NSS_SSL_ENABLE_RENEGOTIATION to 1. By setting this environmental variable, the fix provided by these patches will have no effect and the application may become vulnerable to the issue."

How can I set this environment variable ? is there a preference to set in about:config ?

thanks to all (and thanks to all the developers for Seamonkey !!)
Dominique
