iDRAC6 Virtual Console (Connection Failed)
I'm at the point of pounding the keyboard and tossing it across the room with not being able to
get the Virtual Console to successfully connect. Here is the situation...... I'm able to access the iDRAC remotely via GUI or SSH and login and/or make changes without any issue. When I attempt to run the Virtual Console, it simply fails to connect. I get the error message in my Java Console of "Connection Failed".
Now I've read other posts and recommended fixes and none of them had made any difference. Here is what I've done to date:
1) Added the DRAC IP into the Java Exception List
2) Changed the Java Network Setting from Browser to Direct Connect
3) Disabled Encrypted Video on the DRAC
4) Upgraded the Firmware to v2.85
5) Confirmed using tcpdump that my host and the DRAC can talk on port 5900
6) Cycled the DRAC Plug-in Type between Java and Native
7) Run the Virtual Console (viewer.jnlp) both through the browser and downloaded the .JNLP and used javaws on it.
I'm completely out of options and of what else I could do to make the Virtual Console connection stop failing. Does anybody have any other theories that might be causing me problems?

I have success following the advice about removing "RC4" in the following configuration:
Modify "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.2\conf\security\java.security" file
Comment out
#jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DES, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 1024, \
replace with
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, DES, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 1024, \

I used Java 1.8.0_251. I commented SSLv3 in that file C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_251\lib\security\java.security. It worked for me.
(#jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DES, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 1024, \
EC keySize < 224, 3DES_EDE_CBC, anon, NULL)

For those on Linux, I had success with this method on Linux Mint 19.3. To run the .jnlp, I installed these packages:
icedtea-8-plugin librhino-java libtagsoup-java
The path to the target file was:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/conf/security/java.security

Commends to Dell for keeping this forum alive after so many years. I'm tired of Reddit forums becoming "archived" after a few months. This information proves to be useful year after year.
