Dell DRAC "Error when reading from SSL socket connection"



If you have this error when connecting to Dell DRAC console via web page (java based):

Error when reading from SSL socket connection


Then you either follow this post:

or if you don't want to expose your computer, then you can download your DRAC SSL certificate
and upload it to your 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
