Fix for Java 8 and iDRAC 6 Connection Failed for MacOS

Hello,

I didn`t write soon (sorry for that).

I use MacOS and often I have to go to old Dell PowerEdge servers that use iDRAC 6, but I got into trouble – Connection Failed.

Fix for Java 8 and iDRAC 6 Connection Failed for MacOS

It turns out that the problem comes from a setting in Java security (SSLv3 has stopped by default – that is, it serves to connect to iDRAC 6).

To enable SSLv3, we need to open the java.security file with the text editor:

sudo vim "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/security/java.security"

and to commend or delete the following two lines:

jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DES, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 1024, \
EC keySize < 224, 3DES_EDE_CBC, anon, NULL

And we can successfully run the iDRAC 6 console and get it done;))

That’s it!
