Java settings for Dell iDrac 6
If you're having problems connecting to a Dell iDrac remote console due to Java not trusting the certificate although it's in the exception list, try this.
The certificate is probably signed by a MD5 intermedia certificate, and that's disabled by default. To enable, this, you need to edit your java.security file.
On Windows, this is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre_<version-here>\lib\security\java.security
You need to run your editor as Administrator to be able to modify the file.
Find the line that says:
# jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize < 1024
If the line starts with a #, remove the # to uncomment it.
From the line, remove the MD5 from the list of disabled algorithms
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize < 1024
Save the file and try again to access the iDrac. Note that you still need to add the address to the exception list in your Java settings.
