## How to use the iDRAC Java KVM console
Download and install the latest version of openjdk:

```
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre
```

Go to the security directory where you installed java:
```
/etc/java/security/java.security
```

Comment out the line in ../security/java.security:
```
# jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 1024,

Run the connect_idrac_kvm.sh script using the IP address and credentials of your iDRAC interface to connect to the network KVM on your Dell Server
