iDRAC6 works fine on latest Java (8u77) / Windows 7 here. You need to add the URL of the DRAC to the Java exception list though in control panel, or edit this file: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\exception.sites DRAC5 Java console also uses SSLv3 which is disabled by default in newer Java versions. You will also need to re-enable it again by editing the file: C:\Program Files\Java\%java_version%\lib\security and commenting out this line with a # at the start: jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DH keySize < 768 Bear in mind this might leave you vulnerable to SSL vulnerabilities if you access untrusted Java content. You will also need to redo this every time there is a Java update as it installs new files in a different version directory. john _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
