Authentication ptoblems

[dcorsus]

For any of those running an older Hometroller S6 with windows 7 there are a few things that need to be done in order to be able to authenticate the plugin.

1.https://social.technet.microsoft.com...-settings.aspx
2.You must then edit the registry. Back up registry before attempting to edit it
3. This video dcorsus posted is extremely self explanatory. https://video.search.yahoo.com/searc...d&action=click
The following steps are probably the same for everyone
4. Open ring app on phone and go to control center
5. Open Account Verification on ring app
6. Scroll down to Authorize a new device. This will generate a code to use in Homeseer Ring Plugin settings

There are two factors to consider:

1. Enabling TLS 1.2 - this depends on the Windows version and usually relatively easy to fix

2. Finding which Cipher Suites supported by the server - i.e. inspecting response headers, or using ssllabs.com https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/anal...44.199.116.197

To check which Cipher Suites you have in your Windows - try using “gpedit.msc” https://www.howtogeek.com/221080/how...tter-security/

Even if you manage to enable TLS 1.2 on your Windows, the requited Cipher Suite may not be present on your Windows, i.e. swd.weatherflow.com (AWS) only supports TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256. For this you need to find Cipher Suite installer for your specific Windows version, which can be difficult (or impossible)

Thanks alexbk66. I guess in this case the ring server isn't needing a special cipher but good to know there might be more needed.

Again, depends on client Windows version (and build number) too.

FYI, ring serever is also using AWS, but has more cipher suites supported (at the moment):
