Change Java Security Settings

If Java will not allow a connection to an Intel node via SOL or iKVM, change Java security settings to add an exception for the node’s BMC IP address.

The Intel nodes ship with an insecure certificate, which causes an exception for Java when trying to connect via SOL or iKVM to these nodes. The workaround is to add the node’s BMC IP address to the Exception Site List in the Java Control Panel of the machine attempting to connect to the Intel node.

To add an IP address to the Exception Site List:

Java Control Panel > Security > Edit Site List

The following figures show examples of the Security tab of the Java Control Panel on several different operating systems.
