I don't think so: Why then it works with the older Java? Moreover, yesterday I wanted to monitor booting of a machine before/during BIOS update, so it didn't work with active BIOS 6.4.0 nor later, after upgrading to BIOS 6.5.0 And I know that it worked before on my other R610 already

Have you checked your Java exceptions.sites list didn't get wiped? I found we get that error if the drac isn't in the list. Also check you have the relevant jdk algorithms enabled (although that might only be for drac5). On Thu, 10 May 2018, Peter Holl wrote: Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 15:18:48

Hello Chris, thanks for your answer. However, I did clean the cache and I also tried on a machine, which had no Java before - so it was a fresh install, and I tried with Java 9. Nothing helped. But I never tried from a linux machine. Best, Peter On 5/10/18 2:42 PM, Chris Adams wrote:

We shouldn't be asked to downgrade our Java version, nor mess with the security setting of JDK/JRE/IcedT. If this really is java-related then it's up to Dell to fix this and restore functionality of the iDRAC. On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 10:00 AM, lejeczek wrote: > > > On

Fairly Confident IDRAC6 is unsupported, and likely isn't going to receive an update. The latest builds of Java broke because they are removing the old ciphers that are "less secure". This is a work around for now until dell either makes an update or determines they won't for IDRAC6. I've had

Nah, the SSL/TLS backend in the iDRAC6 most likely needs to be updated and that will fix it (see other email thread from Mr. S. Smoogen). Instead we are insecuring our Java clients to make it work with insecure iDRAC6. If it were possible, I'd get a kick out of the results on SSLLabs. It's seems
