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
- Download a
.jnlpfile from your iDRAC6 web interface (Launch Virtual Console) - 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
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.Maindirectly - 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 23.08
- iDRAC6 Enterprise license (for Virtual Console access)
