Not a fan of the web based OOB management, it's convenient for now but this morning I had a right faff trying to connect to an old iLO3 service, which is new enough to force https but old enough that all it's protocols are deprecated on modern machines. I've used vPro and found it almost deliberately difficult to use, and poorly documented. It could be so easy but just isn't. Like so many things... shakes fist at sky.

This is the danger of https only. http services may be insecure, but don't ever expire; https implementations will expire without updates, and there's not going to be updates on these, and it's unknowable when the expiration will be.


Firefox can be configured to allow obsolete SSL/TLS ciphers:

  about:config
  security.tls.version.min = 0
Obligatory: Do not leave this setting in place for routine browsing. Reset to default (currently 3), or only run in a dedicated profile, etc.


Thankyou, this is what I did. It seems Edge, Chrome is not so easy to do.
