ssl_error_weak_server_cert_key issue in firefox [closed]

Question

I am facing the following problem when i access my local weblogic server over SSL.

My Firefox version is 39.0

An error occurred during a connection to localhost:7002. The server certificate included a public key that was too weak. (Error code: ssl_error_weak_server_cert_key) .

I red some thing related to it. It saying server is using 512 length chipper key instead of 1024 length.

Help me to get rid of this issue.

Answer 1

I have seen this issue occuring on local servers using self-signed certificates, for instance Webmin etc.

In such a case, you can often handle this problem by re-creating your self-signed key. Thereafter, Firefox 39 will ask the usual "confirm security exception" dialog and all is fine.

Answer 2

I tried to use the fix at http://frodo.looijaard.name/article/oem-database-control-security-certificate, but my emctl release on Oracle 11.1.0.6 does not support the options it details at the end. So I fixed it by unsecuring the console.

emctl unsecure dbconsole

A somewhat poor response I agree to what Mozilla are doing, but this system is only available on an internal network.
