## 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 javas:
```
/etc/java/security/java.security
```

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

Add the IP address of your server (https://w.x.y.z) to the security tab of the java control pannel.

Uncheck the box for "Enable Java content for browser and Web Start applications" to prevent java from accessing unsecure internet resources.

Run the connect_idrac_kvm.sh script and enjoy!
