Dell DRAC – The network connection has been dropped

If you’re using an older Dell DRAC, and you attempt to connect to the virtual console, you might see the message “The network connection has been dropped.”

To work around this, edit this file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_181\lib\security\java.security

Find the text “jdk.tls.disabledAlgoritms” around line 647, and change it to:

jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 1024, \EC keySize < 224, DES40_CBC, RC4_40
