ShellInABox...Having to use IE and override security warning...

motox22a · 6. November 2019

It's been a long time since I used Shellinabox...Currently on the latest version of OMV 4.

A couple of days ago I tried to use Shellinabox from a Windows 10 PC with the latest Firefox 70.x but everytime
I clicked on WEBCLIENT Firefox would completely ABEND...
So I tried IE...And here's what I get...

Go on to the webpage (not recommended)

If I click on the Not recommended Icon.. Go to the webpage (not recommended) in IE then Shellinabox works in both
the WebClient and the Terminal.

Is this a certificate problem? How do I fix it?

first off, its because you have not set up HTTPS for shellinabox

Secondly (and most important) Shellinabox is not supported and is completly in the new OMV 5 thats likly comming in the near future,

if you want an alternative to shellinabox, you can use WeTTy in Docker

Thanks for the info...Did not know that ShellInaBox was no longer supported.
At least I know I can still use it through IE...
Doubt I will go to OMV 5 until it's well supported (and addons)...
Will checkout Wetty in the interim...thanks...
