Google Chrome

If you try to connect to an Dell iDRAC Enterprise it may happen that you cannot connect. IE for example shows you the login form, but Google Chrome and Firefox not. This happens because you are redirected to an SSL URL and the OpenSSL used by iDRAC has issues with your browser and fail to establish a TLS 1.2 connection. It looks like this:

Workaround:

• Run Google Chrome with C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome --ssl-version-max=tls1.1 and upgrade iDRAC asap.

Solution:

• Upgrade iDRAC to 1.98 or later

Affected systems (only known server types):

• R310
• R510

With version 15 Google seems to have published the very first version of Google Chrome for Business that at least starts up/opens in an Enterprise environment with Roaming Profiles and redirected AppData folders. Yes - You have read correctly - they are at version 15 and this is the first version that may work. They claimed in december 2010 with Version 11 that Chrome is Ready for Business. The only thing that was ready - was a very limiting MSI wrapper that is not a full-fledged MSI setup. These version 11 was not ready for Business and the only important functionality was the installation to %ProgramFiles% folder, but this does not make Chrome ready for Business. It's still only a suxxx MSI wrapper around the normal installer and as one example - it does not allow you to customize the icon folders.
