In /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins there is a symlink from libjavaplugin.so
to /usr/lib64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
I changed that to point to
/usr/java/jre1.8.0_144/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so but I got the exact same
results.
I also tried renaming the pluginreg.dat file. No joy.

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins. i'm quite sure
that these directories also exist in you ff v24. pluginreq.dat should
only cache the plugin informations and can be renamed.

It's also possible to store your plugin in your profile if you want to
install the plugin only for your account. in this case you can either
use ~/.mozilla/plugins (for all profiles) or [Profile directory]/plugins
for a specific profile.

You can try to replace the icedtea plugin with the one from Oracle.
As i wrote in my first mail. Try to locate the plugin folder of your
firefox installation (maybe in your ff profile or system wide in the
firefox folder), backup the old plugin and place there a symlink to the
oracle plugin (/usr/java/jre1.8.0_144/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so).

That's OpenJDK instead of Oracle.

Maybe you should also try 'alternatives --config javaws' to switch to

When this was working before the firmware update the RC software
invoked IcedTea. As one of the attempted fixes IBM suggested using
javaws instead. Intially I did not have javaws but I did have
javaws.itweb. I tried that and it failed in the same way.

Then they asked me to run this:

alternatives --config java

There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.

  SelectionCommand
---
*+ 1   /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
   2   /usr/java/jre1.8.0_144/bin/jav


And switch to the second one. When I did that it still failed with
IcedTea, but then there was a javaws. I ran that and it did completely
different things and finally failed with "Login error". They they had
me go into ControlPanel and put the IP address of the IMM in the
excpetion site list. I did that and then I get: KVM Java: Duplicate
exists. Then they gave up and said they don't know.

Again, please enter 'about:plugins' in the address bar of your browser
to make sure, that the right java version is activated.

But normally javaws is a different topic. As far as i remember, there
should be an option to let firefox ask, which javaws should be executed.
As i understand, you have different version installed.

And at last, please check the security options with jcontrol. Newer java

I installed it by downloading the rpm and installing that. IBM said on
my older FF the app/plugin is called JNLP and I should change the
setting for that to 'always ask' and then when it asks use javaws - I
did that but it still fails.

So it sounds like the links needed for the plugin to work are not
configured on the system. So you have some symlinks pointing to the
openjdk with the system and some pointing the one you tried to
install. I don't know how you installed this new jdk so it may be for
many different reasons.

I am running a very old versiond of FF, 24.6.0, and the menus and
files are different. But I do not have a java plugin. But please note
that this used to work until today when I upgraded the firmware in the
IMM. That changed the java version required, so I updated that. But

Is the java plugin enabled in your browser? That's not the default nowadays.

if you are running firefox you can check this by opening 'about:plugins'.

here - configured for older HP ILOs -  for example, the plugin is linked
into my firefox profile:

How can I run yum remove without it trying to access the net? This

I used to have issues with Java and our IBM IMM's but seem to have it working 
on my MAC using java 8 build 144 and Safari. You *may* need to add the host imm 
ip address to your exception site list under the java security tab, if you 
haven’t already.

The remote machine is an IMM (Integrated Management Module). I can
connect to that from a browser and then use a remote contol function
to control the machine that is attached to the IMM. That machine will
not boot so I want to see the console, which I usually can via this RC

That's common now that everyone puts re-directs in to force everyone to use 
https.

Can you get to the Apache logs on the remote machine? They may have more info.

The error about Java 1.8 might be a red-herring.

If the remote machine uses Perl on the backend, you might try setting the shell 
env variable OPENSSL_PREFIX to point on your local CentOS6 box to a newer 
version of openssl that handles the TLS handshake. The CPAN module Net::SSLeay 
uses that variable (if set) to use the specified OpenSSL library.

In my case, that was the working version I needed for the IBM
hardware. However I just realized the opposite might be also possible.
The hardware is wanting to talk a newer version of TLS that your old
browser can't use. In either case talking with the hardware vendor to
find exactly what they are expecting in both TLS, Java and other parts
is needed.

 Sorry I mistyped it says 1.8 or greater. I did install that and I

For some of the IBM hardware I have had to use a new Java but an old
copy of Firefox. The best explanation I have is probably flawed but it
was that the hardware wanted SSL1/SSL2 type stuff which the new
Firefox and items blocked. There is probably a better way to fix it.

I don't know. I am running CentOS6 and then trying to run their remote
control SW throught FF. Maybe I have to restart FF ... going to try
that ... no joy, same errors. Contacting IBM now.

Do you have a lower version Java installed?  
What does command 'java -version' say?

IBM has their own flavor of Java.  Is it looking for that?

Sorry I mistyped it says 1.8 or greater. I did install that and I
still get the message. It's remote control software for an IBM system.

That's very odd, since technically JRE 8 is java 1.8 (and JRE 7 is/was 1.7;
JRE 6 was 1.6, et cetera).

should get you the 64-bit v1.8 build 144 of Java, which is indeed the latest
version.

What software is it that requires JRE 8.1?

The latest JRE is JRE 8u144 (version 8, update 144). There's no such
thing as JRE 8.1.

A search for "JRE 8.1 or higher" had no hits at all.

[CentOS] JRE 8.1 for CentOS6

2017-09-14 Thread Larry Martell
I have some software that says it requires JRE 8.1 or higher. If I go
to 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
and install jre-8u144-linux-x64.rpm I get jrel.8.0_144. Anyone know
where I can get 8.1?
