Upgraded from 0.9.60 to 1.7.3 - TLS Issues

#1 Post by RKen1121 » 2023-11-03 15:12

Hi,

I backed up my .xml as suggested before installing the new version in replace of 0.9.60 beta. Importing the settings in the new client with the .xml fails, saying its not an exported element . I had to manually re-assign my passive information, and ftp name. There was a lot of settings I had to replace. It looked like user information stayed.

However, the issue I'm experiencing now is TLS encryption. It did not pull my cert from 0.9.60 version, and I have to generate a new.

Minimum TLS: V1.2
TLS Certificate: Use a self-signed x.509 certificate

When selecting "Generate new", i am presented with a small box that says "Certificate data" only with the fields "Distinguished name" and "Hostnames" i proved the FTP path in hostname, and gave it a distinguished name, selecting Ok gives an error "Couldn't generate the new certificate. Please check that your input is correct and try again."

All of my firewall ports are okay, and passive ports are good. Same with the protocol settings in the Filezilla server. Not sure how to fix this..

Try to prepend your Distinguished name with CN=, e. g. "CN=foobar".
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!
FTP connection problems? Please read Network Configuration.

This solved the problem.
Interesting that the old version didn't require the CN=, the new version does and the new version has less info to fill (Country code, State, City, etc)

Thank you for your help.

The distinguished name field is more powerful, you can specify so much more than just the limited predefined categories than those that were available in the previous version.
