I apologize as it's slightly off-topic, but for anyone that is stuck working on old gear that still uses a java interface/JNLP and doesn't want to run JAVA 6 - here's an open source project that's keeping JNLPs alive and as secure as they can:
https://openwebstart.com/ https://openwebstart.com/
https://github.com/karakun/OpenWebStart https://github.com/karakun/OpenWebStart
Been a life saver for me (and I am in no way affiliated).
When I switched to OpenJDK I was dead in the water for JNLPs until I found it.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> JAVA 6 Why do you capitalise it like this? It's not an abbreviation.
- nix23 6y agoThanks for the tip...have a application still running on 1.4.21 ;(
- hyperdimension 6y agoDo you happen to know if it completely rolls back all the old SSL-related policy? Asking because I've never gotten Dell DRAC Remote Console over Java working (5 and 6/i), and the alternative is, well, ActiveX... Neither work though. It's been a while, but I don't even think I could get an XP VM to access it.
- tw04 6y agoI believe it does - I've used it with Brocade FC switches which had the same issue.
- hyperdimension 6y agoThat's good to know--I'm dealing with a home lab server (running ESXi,) which makes it a little awkward, since any solution that involves an older version of Windows would end up residing as a VM on...my ESXi server, whose (i)DRAC I'm trying to access! I'll try it out on a (physically) separate machine considering your comment. Thanks! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one dealing with hardware companies' awful software.
