This’s been discussed multiple times. I run into these issues all the time as well. The first issue is that Java won’t let Brocade Management GUI to run, because of the security key length. The error is: “Failed to validate certificate. The application will not be executed”. Solution is to change one line in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\security\java.security” from:
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024
to
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 256
The second problem is not signed certificate. The error would read as follows: “Application Blocked by Java Security. Your security settings have blocked an application signed with an expired or not-yet-valid certificate from running”. To work around that lower the security from High to Medium in Java Control Panel on Securtiy tab.
An the third trouble is Java itself. Java 8 is not supported as of Feb 2015. I wasn’t able to get this working even with the link in the exception list on the latest Java release. So I had to downgrade to version 7. It might have changed by the time you’re reading it.
