Unable to Launch iDRAC6 Java 7u79 after Updating to Java 8.

I'm using a DELL server with iDRAC6 firmware ver. 1.97
After Updating Java from7u79 to Java 8, the virtual console doesn't run.

If only the java version 1.7.0 up 79 is installed on the PC, the virtual console works.
If I install the 1.8.0 up 201 on the PC it does not work.
I have configured the security exceptions (List Sites ...) and I have overcome the security problems.
Start the virtual console, Java 7 start up and then:
the error message is "Unable to Launch the application"
In details error: "Found an unsigned resource item:
https: // ......: 443 / software / avctKM.jar"

New security elements for Java have made the iDRAC console pretty useless; with iDRAC 7, I've moved to the HTML5 console exclusively, which is superior to OCX and Java on pretty much every feature.

My recommendation is to stick with that old Java; put it on a virtual machine if you're otherwise concerned about the security of Java, because you won't be getting any updates from Dell on that old iDRAC.

ASKER

I solved it.
I edit the java.security file in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_201\lib\security
comment out the line #jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3
