#4567 Unable to connect to https://admin.fedoraproject.org with firefox, error is ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by sergiopr.

= bug description =
Hello, since a week or so I have been unable to connect to https://admin.fedoraproject.org with firefox, I get an error like (I'm translating from Spanish)
"Secure connection failed, no common cipher algorithms (ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)"

I haven't changed any security configuration in firefox, so I assume this is a change in admin server or in firefox. I can connect with epiphany to https://admin.fedoraproject.org

https://koji.fedoraproject.org doesn't seem affected ( I can connect with firefox)

= bug analysis =
I have firefox-32.0.2-1.fc20.x86_64

If I create a new empty profile, I can login, so the problem must be located in my firefox configuration. I have used the same firefox user profile for years, and perhaps something is broken in about:config

= fix recommendation =


Perhaps you could try this:

I suspect somehow your cypher list is set in your profile and based on an old version of firefox. ;(

Thank you, now it works, very helpful!
