Dell DRAC issues - java webstart security problem

On Linux Client
On some linux installations due to Java OpenSDK (based on IcedTea), the certificate store will be different. If there is no trusted.certs file under ~/.java/deployment/security and if there are ~/.icedtea/security/trusted.* files, then run the following commands.
  • mkdir –p ~/.java/deployment/security
  • cp ~/.icedtea/security/trusted.* ~/.java/deployment/security
  • Launch virtual console now
Also, the default home directory on Linux is /home/<user_name>.  Sometimes this would be an NFS mount or remote file system and user home doesn’t have the permission to create ~/.java/deployment/security.  Change/obtain permissions to the folder and create it using the command ‘mkdir –p ~/.java/deployment/security’.
