Well I had more problems this week trying to get on from my MAC. Solution The problem is, Java have pretty much drac 5 firmware blocked communications with SSLv3 (in light of the recent Poodle attack scares). Which is fair enough, but it's not helping me get on my server that's 50 miles away! The following procedure allows you to re-enable SSLv3 in Java (Tested on version 8 update 40). Obviously there is some security risks in doing so, this

is as SSLv3 is exploitable, so best practice would be to just do this temporarily to get access then disable it again when no longer needed.
1. You need to locate your java.security file, I've found paths all over the Internet to its location, the one that matters I found in the following locations; MAC OSX: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/security/java.security Windows: C:Program Files (x86)Javajre{version}libsecurityjava.security Note: If Java/Apple monkey around with paths and you are looking at this in the future execute the following terminal command to find the file; find / -name 'java.security' -print 2>/dev/null 2. Once located, edit the file and locate the line that reads; jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3 MAC OSX Java.Security Windows Java.Security 3. Simply remove SSLv3 from the end of the line and save the file. NOTE: With MAC OSX you will need to SUDO, to have the permissions to edit this file (see below).

interface using your web browser to monitor the server's status and issue minimal commands, such java 8 u25 as power on and open a remote console. Because most of our servers are based on the Dell PowerEdge 1950 drac 5 java error and PowerEdge 2950, they are running some slightly-older cards, the Dell DRAC 5. The most important use for this is the remote console, the ability to connect and use your system as if you were sitting http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0001062 right in front of it. The problem begins with Java, like usual. The remote console relies on Java and due to Dell considering the DRAC 5 to be end of life, hasn't given it a firmware update in several years. Over the past few years, many advances in security have taken place. As of the time of this post, the latest and greatest is TLS v1.2, with SSLv3 considered deprecated https://nacko.net/dell-drac-5-with-java-1-8-error-when-reading-from-ssl-socket-connection/ and insecure. The problem is that these old cards still want to use SSLv3 and do not support TLS. To top it off, the newer versions of Java are defaulted with SSLv3 disabled. Even after adding our URLs to the whitelist, we could not get the console to open because of the error "Error when reading from SSL socket connection". Fortunately, Java still offers a way to resolve these problems. First, make sure your DRAC address is added to the whitelist in your Java control panel under the "Security" tab. Next, we will manually have to edit the java.security file to enable SSLv3. On Windows 7 with Java 1.8u60, this file can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_60\lib\security\java.security. Search for the parameter "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms". Simply comment it out by adding a pound sign in front of it (#). Save your file and relaunch your remote access console from the DRAC 5 interface. You should be able to connect successfully! Please remember that, while this fixes your connection problem, you just told Java that it's okay to use what is considered an insecure cipher. Once you finish your remote session, we highly recommend reactivating the setting in your java.security file. This entry was tagged Dell, DRAC, Java, PowerEdge 1
SSLv3 Poodle vulnerability. This has one problem. The Dell DRAC remote management cards installed in a lot of Dell servers relies on SSLv3 to operate. Without this, you can get into the web interface - https://www.crc.id.au/2015/01/31/java-update-broke-the-dell-drac-5-remote-management-cards/ but when you get an error stating Error when reading from SSL socket connection and no further. Thankfully, it is simple to re-enable SSLv3 to allow the connection to succeed. Open up /usr/lib/jvm/*/jre/lib/security/java.security in your favourite editor as http://itadmin01.blogspot.com/2015/03/dell-drac-error-when-reading-from-ssl.html root, and change the following line: jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3 to jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms= This enables SSLv3 to all java applications - however it exposes yourself to the MITM attack as defined in CVE-2014-3566. I suggest having a read of the CVE to understand error when if you want to leave this setting as default on your system or disable it again afterwards.

Fred Sawyer says: June 11, 2015 at 1:23 am Just ran into this issue, your write up saved tons of time. Thanks for sharing. Reply Niru says: June 29, 2015 at 4:33 pm Really fantastic solution. Thank you so much for posting very valuable error when reading and useful info… Reply fish says: October 8, 2015 at 3:57 am nice attempt, unfortunately didn't work for me. Is there any other place, where maybe globally defined parameters are? I try to acces the virtual console of HP ILO 2. When I use the browser, I can download the JAR-file, but java says: JAR https://10.100.128.20/rc175p08.jar not found. Continuing. My environment: fedora 21, OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode) regards fish Reply Areeb Yasir says: February 24, 2016 at 11:17 am Thank you Steve this did the trick for a problem with a KVM viewer. It is a wonder why Java implementations and the API are completely non-standard and each update seems to break critical applications. Reply Bill says: April 8, 2016 at 11:38 pm I had to do this, and do a remote racadm command to get the ssl cert or else I kept getting the same error. Using remote racadm, I ran this command: racadm -r -u -p sslcertdownload -t 1 -f Then it works like a charm for me. Reply Bill says: April 8, 2016 at 11:39 pm I forgot to add that I then had to import the cert into Java.

I have Linux Dell server and Linux laptop with IcedTea instead of Oracle Java in this example : 1) First go to your Dell server to download the certificate: $ racadm sslcertdownload -t 1 -f file.txt Note: Command description: http://web.mit.edu/cron/documentation/dell-server-admin/en/DRAC_5/racugaa.htm#47494 2) scp it to your laptop 3) Start IcedTea Web Control Panel /usr/bin/itweb-settings 4) Click Certificates, User Certificates and Import Certificate from the file.txt Posted by Nicco Ts at Thursday, March 19, 2015 Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest No comments: Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) Blog Archive ▼ 2015 (2) ► August (1) ▼ March (1) Dell DRAC "Error when reading from SSL socket conn... ► 2014 (3) ► November (1) ► January (2) ► 2013 (17) ► September (1) ► August (1) ► July (12) ► June (1) ► May (2) About Me View my complete profile Simple template.
