====== Start iKVM manually ======

I stumbled across some SuperMicro servers refusing to let me connect to their graphical console via IPMI web interface with the meaningless error message "Connection failed".

So I found a way to do this manually:

Requirements:
  * stunnel (tested version: 5.38)
  * java (tested version: openjdk 1.8.0_121, IcedTea 3.3.0, Alpine 8.121.13-r0)
  * iKVM.jar and libraries from ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/utility/IPMIView/Linux/IPMIView_2.12.0_build.160804_bundleJRE_Linux_x64.tar.gz
  * some stunnel.conf with following content (replace with your target IP):

<code>
[HOST_iKVM]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:12345
connect = 172.16.XX.XX:3520
</code>

   * start:
<code>stunnel /path/to/your/stunnel.conf</code>
   * replace user, pass and target IP and start:
<code>java -Djava.library.path=. -jar iKVM.jar 127.0.0.1 adminuser 'adminpass' null 12345 623 0 0 --BMCIP172.16.XX.XX</code>
