I've just hit a new problem with Seamonkey 2.30.
Just finished installing a new small Linux server. I needed to access
the web page on the server. Fired up Seamonkey, entered https:<IP> and
the port number. And got this message:
"An error occurred during a connection to test1:10000. 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 web site owners to inform them of this problem."
And it won't let me log on. Wonderful.... I know the key is not offical.
And I don't care - its on my internal network. At least in older
versions I was given a warning and allowed to make an exception. Seems
that I'm now to be "protected", even when I do know exactly what I'm doing!
Firefox exhibits exactly the same over protective nonsense. In the end,
I had to use Chromium to access the setup page.
Is this expected behaviour, or is it something I've (yet again) got
messed up in my profile?
I've used Seamonkey since the old Mozilla suite. But if this is about to
become standard, it is about to get dropped. Permanently!

Thanks. That last link allowed me to fix it. I've got a number of small
servers out there that use Webmin, which was the main problem.
Generating a new key from within Webmin has fixed those that I can reach
- I'll have to go onsite for the rest, but it does work.
You still should be able to set an exception via
Edit|Preferences|Privacy&Security|Certificates|Manage Certificates
I may have to try that if I find any sites in the wild that have the
same problem.
Paul.
