ILO2 Java Remote console as Standalone version
Tested with Java 8 and Java 11. Hangs for an unknown reason on Java 15.
Because even on the latest firmware (2.33 as of 2021-04-16), due to hardware limitations, iLO2 does not support modern TLS (and ciphers). Therefore, adjusting the JRE's security settings is necessary. Seemingly, this can not be done at runtime, so a custom security file has to be passed to Java.
You can either pass host, username and password as arguments:
java -jar ILO2RemCon.jar -Djava.security.properties=java.security <Hostname> <Username> <Password>
Or you can use a config file (for an example, see config_template.properties):
java -jar ILO2RemCon.jar -Djava.security.properties=java.security -c <Path to config.properties>
Running the Application without arguments will try using a config.properties in the current working directory.

That is what the -Djava.security.properties=java.security part does.
