Web Access to Storageworks Sanswitch 4/8 - 4/16 Java Problem

[Robert Klarmann]

Hello,

I can not access the web interface of the san switches. The switches run with FW 6.2.2f

When I access the web interface - the Java application initialize and then a security prompt from JAVA comes up with with "Failed to validate certificate. The application will not be executed."

I tried following workaround I found on the net - none of them worked for me:

Reducing security in Java control panel

added the website of the switch to the Execption Site List

modified the java.security file in java/lib/security for not disabling MD2 algorithm and reduced RSA key size to 256

But no luck - with Windows 8.1 and Java no way

I could setup an Windows 2003 with an old Java version - but I think just for manageing some fiber switches this is a bit an overkill.

Anyone here who knows a solution?

Best regards

Robert
