- I run through the steps to get your IDRAC 6 virtual console working in google chrome.
1) Download IDRAC.jnlp from the google store.
chrome.google....
2) Install Java 8
java.com/en/do...
3) Add your servers IDRAC IP address to the Exception Site List
Windows start menu, Java, Configure Java
a new window with pop up
Security, Edit Site List, Add your servers IDRAC IP address
4) Edit the C:\Program Files (86)\Java\jre1.8.0_291\lib\security\java.secuity file
And Comment out line 722, 723, 724
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, RC4, DES, MD5withRSA, \
DH keySize 1024, EC keySize 224, 3DES_EDE_CBC, anon, NULL, \
include jdk.disabled.namedCurves
EDIT 01-25-2022
If you are still haveing trouble comment out lines 689 and 690
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize 1024, \
DSA keySize 1024, include jdk.disabled.namedCurves
Also go back to the Java control panel and click on Advance (on the right side) the activate
TLS 1.0 by checking it and hitting apply

Awesome video that got me ALMOST all fixed.
I had to comment out an additional line in the java.security file for jdk.jar.disabled as well as the jdk.tls.disabled that you mention.
Now my Virtual Console launches and I am a happy camper. THANKS
Excellent! and thank you for the additional info
shout out to this comment mine wasnt working. error said something about avctKVM.jar and I saw this comment so I commented out the jdk.jar.disabled lines and it worked.
Nice one - the video plus your comment worked for me.
Wow, I have to say I didn't have high hopes finding a solution for this on YT... but you certainly delivered! Thanks!!!
Glad it helped
Much appreciated instructions for something that is increasingly becoming a pain in the butt ! When embedded systems aren't able to keep up with browser technology or deprecated functions in the name of security vulnerabilities. Having similar issues with older firewalls and NAS devices forcing me to download older version of browsers to get around older TLS issues..
I tried for 4 hours and with your instructions it was First try thank you
Great to hear!
Old clip but still a life saver! Thansk alot.
Thanks for this. Worked a treat once I commented out the jdk.jar.disabled line in the security file too.
Cheers
Forget Java. Just go to Virtual Console settings on iDRAC and set Plug-in Type to HTML5. Job done.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're my saviour tonight. Chrome would not work for me, but I got it working in Edge thanks to you and your instructions.
Glad I could help
Thanks, this worked a treat. Had to make the additional changes in the comments.
Thanks much. This was quick and easy to follow, worked perfectly. Got me running fast and easy.
Great to hear!
If I ever meet you, I'm going to buy you a beer, mate! Thanks!
Thank you, that was really clear and the EDIT 01-25-2022 helped me to solve the access problem
Your Welcome
thanks,dude. you deserve an ice cream today =)
Anything but Java! We have standards in this house!
Thank you so much!!! Can finally use the stupid idrac
I really like your channel - subscribed - keep up the good work.
Thanks I appreciate it. Just wish I had more time to do them.
Great instructions, so easy to follow and all working perfectly now thanks!
Great to hear!
Thanks man ! Was looking for it long time !
No problem!
got it working with vm windows 7 , this works if you have life cycle at least 1.5.5 after that this one works too charming then no need to w7
Wow, thanks man. Got it working thanks to you
Awesome Cheers
My Goodness... I finally got to work with your comprehensive instruction... Thank you So much God-Le-Res DIY !!!
No Problem glad it worked out for you!!!!
Thanks - got me working!
Great!
Thank you, it' s still working in July 2023 for Idrac 6 with Java 8 update 251 using chrome. Firefox and Edge still asking to save file.
Cheers
Thank you! You rock!
Thanks for help!
2024, and still working!
I'm getting an, "Unable to launch application."
Great Video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Was wondering if/when you were ever going to approach this subject. Those of us in the know know how challenging this was at first and after watching your videos it was like “… he must have figured it out yet didn’t say anything about it…” For a more secure installation you can also only comment out RC4 and MD5 protocols and leave the rest disabled. A bit safer that way. The Art of Server has a few videos on this subject.
I decided to make the video after I tried the virtual console on my laptop and could remember what the hell I did. Lol
Art of Server is pretty awesome!
Just bought a poweredge server, still having trouble after getting Java and configuring it. I get this error in chrome (ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH)
The system that I'm trying to access the server from is windows 11, I'll try it on my Windows 10 laptop and see if I get different results. I'm looking to install Windows server on this PowerEdge to run some game servers. Any recommendations and help are very much appreciated. Thanks!
what is your version of iDRAC 6? Maybe You need to update it to the latest one
LEGEND!
thank you!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
Cheers
Other than the few lines on the security page, i have tried. But will try the java security page later to night. Thanks.
No problem thanks for checking the video out.
Perfect Thanks
Thank you.
Not for me. Chrome still cannot open iDrac7 because of the TLS. THis don't solve that problem
Well the title does say IDRAC 6.
🤷♂️
Thanks a lot..!
No Problem
I stil have a problem it seems that Java can not dowload a file from the server, its avctVMWin32.jar. I can download it myself but when i launch the jnlp file it doesn't....
Thank you,. i also using R610, will try that and report back
Best of luck!
You don't need a Chrome extension God knows what does it do. Just install Java, add the iDRAC IP to it's exceptions, then remove RC4 from the disabled security algorithms, and it'll work
Thanks for the info
I bought a Dell T410 I bought from ebay I never could get it to boot from the harddrive. I'll probably try to resell it.
I still have the problem on my R710
IActually i have the problem, but i this doesn´t work now :(. I think its about the version of the browser
"Unable to launch the application"
RIP ive been at this for months. Im at a total loss. I updated the idrac firmware, no hope. Ive tried every other remote desktop option too.
JNLPException[category: Security Error : Exception: null : LaunchDesc:
what fixed it for me was also commenting out the extra lines he talked about in the description. Read that and see if that fixes it for you.
@@chdrummer I did that as well as uncommenting a bunch of other lines recommended on some forum posts too. I've done literally everything. The solution for me was switching my server from linux back to windows server, and now I can use whatever remote desktop software I want without issue. For idrac I use a docker container but it's terrible latency which is why I needed to run it natively or use a remote software, but none work on linux natively. Linux is just objectively bad for an ordinary home lab server, lesson learned
i just removed java 8 completely then install an older version of java . my case java 7
I tried and it give me another window and when hit keep I get another window. it just keep going in circle
What is the window you are getting?
I have an R210 that was giving me an unreachable (or some crap like that ) error, and I was able to fix it by going to the Java control panel, and clicking on Advance (on the right side). Once there I scrolled down and activated TLS 1.0 by checking it and hitting apply. Maybe that will work for you also IDK.
Oh almost for got. You may need to edit your
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_321\lib\security\java.security file and uncomment lines 689 and 690
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize < 1024, \
# DSA keySize < 1024, include jdk.disabled.namedCurves
it's still doesn't work for me
its downloading but I am getting the same error

Fingers are crossed and hoping it works for you.

OMG that was a bad one.
