Just installed Dradis CE on my Kali Box. When I go to the web interface, I get: **Secure Connection Failed** An error occurred during a connection to localhost:3000. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL\_ERROR\_RX\_RECORD\_TOO\_LONG Anyone else experience this? ---

@rocco920 I’m Rachael with the Dradis support team. Let’s get this sorted out! What command are you running to get the start the Dradis server? (e.g. are you running in `production`?). Also, what version of Kali are you running? ---

Hi, I’m having the same issue. An error occurred during a connection to localhost:3000. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL\_ERROR\_RX\_RECORD\_TOO\_LONG I found a temporary fix by using http instead of https. This isn’t ok in the long run however. I followed the Kali instructions very carefully. I’m using the latest Kali, fully updated and everything. This is the console output when I start the rails server: ``` root@kali:/usr/lib/dradis-ce/bin# bundle exec rails server => Booting Thin => Rails 5.1.3 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000 => Run `rails server -h` for more startup options Thin web server (v1.6.3 codename Protein Powder) Maximum connections set to 1024 Listening on localhost:3000, CTRL+C to stop ``` Notice that the server is using http, not https. By the way, during the dradis-ce setup, I didn’t notice any certificate creation. N.B. I don’t know if it is related or not to the following problem, but it sounds similar. > Regards Damien ---

The problem/solution is what @DamienDaco’s post says. In production mode, Dradis/Rails forces to use https. But in production mode the idea is to have in front of the ruby server a web server (nginx?) with ssl enabled. If you want to use production mode in your local environment, you can: - disable ssl: edit `environment/production.rb` and set `config.force_ssl = false` - enable ssl in your ruby web server. If you are running `thin` @DamienDaco it looks like it is as simple as running `bundle exec thin start --ssl` Also, If you run once the app in production/https, and later want to rollback to development/http, you may notice that the browser (chrome) keeps redirecting you the the https version. This is due to the fact that `config.force_ssl = true` sets the HSTS header. This may be disabled by visiting `chrome://net-internals/#hsts` or by reloading with “Empty Cache and Hard Reload” (both solutions detailed here: [Google Chrome redirecting localhost to https - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25277457/google-chrome-redirecting-localhost-to-https)) ---

Hi xavi, there was a typo in the solution. Requesting you to change it. Actual: \* diable ssl: edit `environment/profuction.rb` and set `config.force_ssl = false` Expected: \* diable ssl: edit `environment/production.rb` and set `config.force_ssl = false` Change: production instead profuction ---

@sboddepalli, thanks for catching that! I was able to fix the typo in @xavi’s response and I think all is well now. Anything else we can help with? ---
