Dell OpenManage - Secure connection failed (Firefox or Chrome)

Problem

After installing a recent (or older) version of Dell OpenManage (including version 8.2.x) on your PowerEdge server, you cannot view the web interface with Firefox or Google Chrome. Instead you get this error:

Solution

Modify this xml file: c:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt\apache-tomcat\conf\server.xml

as follows:

Orignal with weak keys:

 Connector SSLEnabled="true" ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA" 

Corrected version with strong keys:

Everything before and after that should be left the same.

 I am attaching a corrected file version below.
