# iDRAC6 Console Flatpak

Flatpak application to connect to Dell iDRAC6 virtual console from Linux.

## Why

Dell iDRAC6 uses Java Web Start (JNLP) with unsigned JARs that request `<all-permissions/>`. Modern Java/IcedTea-Web refuses to run them. This Flatpak bypasses javaws entirely by launching the KVM client directly with Java 8.

## Usage

1. Download a `.jnlp` file from your iDRAC6 web interface (Launch Virtual Console)
2. Run:

```
flatpak run com.idrac6.console ~/Téléchargements/viewer.jnlp
```

Session tokens in the JNLP expire quickly — download a fresh one each time you connect.

## Building

```bash
flatpak-builder --user --force-clean --install build-dir com.idrac6.console.yaml
```

## How it works

- Parses the JNLP file for connection parameters (ip, user, passwd, kmport, vport)
- Launches `java -cp avctKVM.jar com.avocent.idrac.kvm.Main` directly
- Uses Java 8 (Temurin) with relaxed TLS/security settings for iDRAC6 compatibility
- Bundles the KVM JAR and native libraries (libavctKVMIO.so, libavmlinux.so)

## Requirements

- [org.freedesktop.Platform](https://flathub.org/apps/runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform) 23.08
- iDRAC6 Enterprise license (for Virtual Console access)
