973904 - No option to ignore "sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 435013

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Peter da Silva]

Attachment: "Secure connection failed" dialog.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140212131424

Steps to reproduce:

We have a number of Network Appliance filers which, whether they should have done this or not, all have the same issuer and serial number. Any attemt to manage them via Firefox is blocked by an unpassable security dialog.


Actual results:

See attachment.


Expected results:

There _MUST_ (underline, exclamation mark, etc) be an option to disable this for accessing legacy intranet servers. These are not inexpensive pieces of hardware, and even if they no longer support the latest version of OnTap we still need to manage them. It's absolutely inconceivable that you would not have an option for system administrators to bypass checks like this when we _absolutely_ know they are safe to bypass.
