IPMI

Instructions to use the java based KVM that’s part of the IPMI on older Aupermicro servers.

• Download Firefox 52 ESR from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.0esr/win32/en-US/
• Block FireFox from updating. (HOW? - IF you don’t do this, every time you close the browser FireFox will auto update to version 60, which won’t work with Java)
• Install Java 8 Update 431. (which version? I installed Both 32 and 64 bit just in case.)
• Edit Java Policy ** notpade C:\Program Files\Java\jreXXX\lib\java.policy ** At the bottom, add : permission java.security.AllPermission; ** Enable Java Add On’s to always activate in firefox (In the address bar enter) about:addons On the left, “Plugins” On the right, set the two Java entries to “Always Activate”
• Add the URL of the IPMI to the java exeptions list ** Java Control Panel –> Security Tab –> Exception Site List
