I keep a Windows 2008 w Java 6 VM on ice for administering old Java console shit like that.
The VM is unsafe as hell. Completely virgin unpatched. The only protection is that I don’t give it a gateway or dns, and I shut it down when its not in use.
And it works. Old Java shit can still be used.
I’d rather plug in a screen with VGA than deal with HPE iLO 4
Serial terminal servers (sometimes called terminal console servers) are a thing for a reason.
To be honest, HPE iLO 6 isn’t too bad, if you’re using the GUI. It’s the API that remains really broken in many places.

Networking noob here; what, pray tell, is HPE iLO4… or do I want to even know?
Edit: Never mind. Found it. HP… shudders
“In December 2021 Iranian researchers at Amnpardaz security firm have discovered rootkits in HPE’s iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) management modules.”
Because of course lol
Sounds like an issue draling with .NET or JRC console.
Are you on the nosz up to date firmware?
I remember there being the option of using HTML or a Java applet, I chose the former
If you have the HTML5 option you should be on a pretty recent firmware.
Interesting that you’d prefer going (literally) analog connection rather than over the IPMI.
The latest version of iLO4 is from 2023
You know, I wanted to say “Bet!” and proove your wrong as I couldnt believe they never went past 2023 for the firmware.
Turns out that was the latest.
But I do know they have more recent firmware uploads for the UEFI than 2023. ^(A year younger but no less nore recent/s)
