Issue 54:
Description
After upgrading to Java 1.7.0, a login failure is observed when launching Virtual Media or Virtual Console
using the Java plugins. By default, Java 1.7.0 enables a certificate revocation check for all certificates in
the chain of trust, using both Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL) with the Online Certificate Status Protocol
(OCSP). With these settings, if the network on which the client system resides provides DNS resolution of
the CRL and OCSP server names, but does not provide access to the servers, the temporary
authentication credentials for the Virtual Media or Virtual Console session may expire before the
certificate check times out.
Resolution:
Perform any of the following actions:
• Provide network access to the CRL and OCSP servers.
• Disable DNS name resolution for the CRL and OCSP servers.
• Change the Java Control Panel settings:
o Perform certificate revocation checks on from All certificates in the chain of trust to
Publisher’s certificate only
o Check for certificate revocation using from Both CRLs and OCSP to Certificate
Revocation Lists (CRLs)
• Change the Java Control Panel settings Perform certificate revocation checks on from All
certificates in the chain of trust to Do not check (not recommended).
Alternately, restoring the previous Java version also prevents the display of the message. See the Oracle
Java documentation for information on how to uninstall Java.
After uninstalling, re-install Java 7 update 21 (or your preferred version).
