Titan SFTP Server Admin Page Fails to Load



Question

I installed Titan SFTP server and after trying to access the admin page for the first time on my browser, it fails to load. 


Reasoning

In Titan Nextgen the admin page is only accessible via web browser.


Answer

The most likely issue is due a mismatch of the TLS algorithms between the OS level and you’re your browser. You can use a tool like IIS Crypto to apply recommended settings and enable the more secure ciphers which will allow you to establish the secure connection and access the admin page.


NOTE: Internet Explorer is not a supported web browser.


Steps

  1. Download IIS Crypto.
  2. Open IIS Crypto and navigate to Cipher Suites and click on the “Best Practices” button on the bottom.


  1. Click on Apply
  2. Reboot the Windows server.
  3. After reboot, access the Titan SFTP server admin page and confirm it now loads up correctly.
