Idrac 7 firmware 2.10.10.10 (build 49) 256-bit disables Virtual Console
Issue: updated firmware from 1.57.57 to 2.10.10.10. tried using the 256-bit or higher SSL Encryption but Virtual Console no longer opens with Java 8 Update 51.
Receive an Application Error which details some handshake_failure.
reducing SSL back to 128 or 168 bit opens the Virtual Console fine.
any advice?

Please try this --
Get the latest JRE and setup for 256 bit encryption
1) Go to Oracle site to download JRE
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
2) Select Java SE Runtime Environment 8u66
3) Install the software
4) Download the unlimited strength JCE policy files.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html
5) Un-compress and extract the downloaded file.
local_policy.jar Unlimited strength local policy file
US_export_policy.jar Unlimited strength US export policy file
6) Backup the original policy files
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\lib\security\local_policy.jar
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\lib\security\US_export_policy.jar
Rename to
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\lib\security\local_policy_org.jar
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\lib\security\US_export_policy_org.jar
7) Install (copy) the unlimited strength policy JAR files.
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\lib\security\local_policy.jar
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\lib\security\US_export_policy.jar
Now you should be able to launch vConsole with Java Plugin and SSL Encryption set at 256 bit or higher.
