	Install icedtea-web or the official JDK from oracle. Because the iDRAC uses RC4 for SSL/TLS, you will get an error "The viewer has terminated. Reason: The network connection has dropped." if you try to connect. To work around this, you will need to edit <code>/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_202-amd64/jre/lib/security/java.security</code> (change the java version as required) and edit <code>jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms</code> to not include RC4. Save the file and try launching the java web start applet again.

Add your iDRAC's address into the exception list. For example, http://ipmi-nn1:80 or https://ipmi-nn1:443.
