ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key

I can no longer connect to my Nimble system via FireFox.  I see reference to to this in InfoSight, but not a fix or work around other than using Internet explorer.   Is there anyway to update the SSL cert used by my Nimble system?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Mats. What NimbleOS firmware are you on? I believe there was a fix implemented specifically for Firefox & Chrome browsers in NimbleOS 2.2.8.0 (it's detailed in the notifications section of Infosight).

We’re on 2.2.5. 2.2.5.0-197583-opt

I’ll see if I can update it. t 2.2.5.0-197583-op

Mats, I am on 2.1.4 and have the same problem.  I think they were coming out with a fix AFTER 2.2.8.  I foolishly cleared the notice in infosight and now I can't find it but I believe that's what the notice said.

All cleared alerts/bulletins are available  to see in Infosight->Help->Bulletins.

I believe what the OP is referring to is EXT-009, detailing issues with NSS within Firefox & Chrome (no issue for Internet Explorer). The fixes are implemented in 2.2.8.0 or 2.2.3.0.

Our system is running 2.2.5.0 so the fix must be in 2.2.8.0.    I have it downloaded

I'm trying to find update procedures on the Nimble site.  I know I can just click the 'update' button after downloading it, but I need to know if I should take any precautions.

As long as you have Nimble Connection Manager for VMware/Windows installed and your MPIO settings are correct for any other services, then there are no other real considerations. I'd recommend running it out-of-hours just to be sure, but there's no need to shut things down.\

The Nimble array will detect any problems on your network between the controllers and will halt the update if it seems potential issues, too.

I must be doing something wrong.  Under Help, all I have for options are Help and Connect.  Not a problem really, don't want to hijack the thread.

Thanks.  I should be OK as I haven't integrated VMware yet.    I updated from 2.1 before starting the migrations this spring, but it wasn't mission critical at that point.    I'll install the update later this evening.   Thanks for your help.
