Yeah, but I've only got a piddly little pseudo-enterprise grade system [1] that probably won't get any more updates. I still want to retain the functionality. Are the protocol extensions that SuperMicro use on top of IPMI (particularly the virtual CD-ROM) documented / supported by any other utilities. I did notice I get booted off the virtual console if I log out of the web interface - I hope the session itself isn't initiated by Java.

It's not too much work to script downloading the webstart file, and then launching that. We did that at work because it was too to get it to run from a browser anyway. (And we run javaws in a VM because it's too hard to run java in the native environment too.. sigh)

  You have to authenticate to the IPMI address first, right?

    Yes, the script posts the user/password to the ipmi http(s) server to get the jnlp file (which includes an embedded credential that's tied to the http(s) session)
