R720 iDRAC7 virtual console unusable with icedtea javaws or oracle javaws

If I login to an iDRAC with enterprise licence on an R720 using firefox16 on linux-x64, then click to launch the console, and save the viewer.jnlp file I can then invoke javaws at the command line thus (Oracle jre1.7.0_09)

$ javaws -nosecurity viewer.jnlp

I get a similar problem. I have tried a patched version of icedtea referenced here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675271 and still no joy.


Although I can dual-boot windows, at the moment my windows partition is broken, so I really need to stick with linux! thanks Paul

I decided to fire up a windows7 home premium x86-64 virtual machine, and installed jxp on it - 7.0.90.5.

It connects, having given me warning about invalid certificates which I can override, which isn't possible for java on linux.

So I think someone at Dell definitely needs to look into this and tell us either how to get java on linux to accept their generic iDRAC7 certificate (am running latest drac firmware 1.23.23), or offer a work-round, or fix their certificate!

p.s. that was using firefox 15.0.1, but it probably doesn't really matter which browser I use.

if I use Chrome it doesn't like the long complicated filename of viewer.jnlp + log trailing string.

Did you ever get Dell to respond?  I'm completely stuck with Linux x64 (and IcedTea).  Neither Chrome nor Firefox works.  You'd think Dell would at least test this stuff before they shipped it.  This is truning branch deployments of Dell T620's into a total non-starter (and mounting disaster).
