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.
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!
