Overview

drac-runner is a simple launcher for Dell's iDRAC 6 remote management console. No more messing with buggy login pages, JNLP files, and manually-edited security settings! Simply enter the hostname you wish to connect to and your credentials, and you're ready to go.

To use it, you'll need avctKVM.jar, which you can download from your iDRAC. See the instructions in the lib directory for information on adding the JAR file to the project.

Compatibility reports from iDRAC 7 and 8 users are welcome!

TODO

  • support custom launch parameters - I think iDRAC 7 might require slightly different launch options
  • use JarClassLoader to optionally load the avctKVM.jar at runtime instead of having it as a compile time dependency. that way I can distribute this project as a precompiled JAR
  • support native keyboard helper library (almost everything works without it)
