At this time, we are currently workign on a more permanent solution for this problem, for now, a workaround is available to temporarly allow the use of SSLv3.0 on the new version of Java. 

Follow the steps to enable SSL 3.0 manually: 

 

• Windows Users 
   
• Mac OS Users

Windows PC Users :

 

Step 1: Open Windows Explorer and go to the following java library security file.

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_31\lib\security\java.security”  or
“C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_31\lib\security\java.security”.

Step 2:  Open “Notepad” in Administrator mode by right-clicking the mouse. Select “Run as administrator” in the context menu.

Step 3:  Open the java.security file by right clicking the file, and "open with" Notepad.  The file should now be editable in clear text. Scroll down or Page Down to the last line and comment it out (make it invalid) by adding a # sign at the front of the line.

jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3    <this is the last line of the java file>
# jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3    <add the # sign to the front of it to make the line inactive>

 

 

 

Step 4: Save the java file by clicking on the File manu and select "Save".

 

 

Step 5:  Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the current "user" folder. 

• Go to C:\Users and select the user’s name. Replace <current user> with the name of the customer’s login.
• The next portion may be hidden and needs to be manually added \Appdata\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment. So the full path should be:
  C:\Users\<current user name>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Step 6: Open the deployment.properties file by right clicking the file and open with Notepad.  The file should now be editable in clear text.

• On the bottom line of the deployment.properties file add the following line:

deployment.security.SSLv3=true   << add this line to the bottom of the file>


 

 

Step 7:  Save the deployment.properties file.

 

Step 8:  Save your work, close all browsers, restart browser, go to mydlink.com Login, select your camera, test your live footage

 

 

You should be able to log in mydlink portal to see your camera(s).  A more permanent solution is coming soon in a form of a firmware update.  If for any reason you still continue to have problems, contact our Technical Support Group for assistance.
