Unable to connect to Console via Dell IDRAC6

[fiza]

Our DCs are due for changing from physical to Virtual but at the moment they sit on some old Dell servers that run IDRAC6.

I wanted to connect via our VPN from home to the running console on one of the servers as it is running a program that I need to look at that wont launch if I do an RDP session. Its been a long time since I had to launch the console via IDRAC. It is JAVA based but will no longer run and complains about weak signature. I found something on the Dell website which talks about temporarily changing settings in the Java.security file but I tried that and I get a little further but get "connection failed". No other indications or errors.

 

Does anyone know a way of getting it to run or allowing me to connect to the Console session on the Server?

 

Hope that makes sense.

ok sorted it with an older version of Java.
