Jephe Wu - http://linuxrechres.blogspot.com

Environment: IBM P5 ASMI IP address 192.168.0.254.
Problem: firefox and IE are not able to access https://192.168.0.254


Steps: 

1. use default ip address (192.168.2.147/24 and 192.168.3.147), laptop and crossover cable to configure ASMI ip address to 192.168.0.254.

2. use elinks to access it , then you can only see login page.

3. enable security.ssl3.rsa_rc4_40_md5 in firefox about:config to access https://192.168.0.254
