Not knowing what kind of server management you're looking for I can only make general suggestions. We found that the removal of Java support (actually NSAPI in favor of the Pepper API which Oracle has stated they won't support) left us with limited IPMI (iLO, DRAC, whatever) functionality. And, looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start, Oracle has stopped supporting javaws. In our case (SuperMicro) we found two things: their newer hardware had switched to HTML5/iKVM which didn't require Java and SuperMicro had supplied non-browser-based (but Java-based) programs which supplied equivalent functionality for the legacy hardware. My recommendation would be to look into those alternatives. Java Web Start - Wikipedia<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start> In computing, Java Web Start (also known as JavaWS, javaws or JAWS) is a framework developed by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) that allows users to start application software for the Java Platform directly from the Internet using a web browser.Some key benefits of this technology include seamless version updating for globally distributed applications and greater control of memory allocation to ... en.wikipedia.org

Lack of this facility makes browser and platform unusable for server management. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Harriscomputer Leroy Tennison Network Information/Cyber Security Specialist E: le...@datavoiceint.com [cid:Data-Voice-International-LOGO_aa3d1c6e-5cfb-451f-ba2c-af8059e69609.PNG] 2220 Bush Dr McKinney, Texas 75070 www.datavoiceint.com<http://www..com> This message has been sent on behalf of a company that is part of the Harris Operating Group of Constellation Software Inc.
