2. Go to the security directory where you installed java:

```
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/security/java.security
```

3. Comment out the line in ../lib/security/java.security:

```
# jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 1024,
```

4. Add the IP address of your iDRAC interface (https://w.x.y.z) to the security tab of the java control pannel **located under System Preferences**, then uncheck the box "Enable Java content for browser and Web Start applications" to prevent java from accessing unsecure internet resources.
