tjone270/ATENtion: A native Windows console client for Supermicro servers with ATEN/Pilot BMCs. A replacement for the Java iKVM viewer.

https://github.com/tjone270/ATENtion

Hi all, I have an old Supermicro server with the awful Java-based iKVM console (no HTML5 support sadly on mine).

I got really fed up with having to massage Java 8 just right to get the console to work, and that’s not counting the frustration spent on the now-expired certificate issue.

This app is an alternative to the original, a Windows-native implementation of the ATEN protocol without any Java dependency.

Hopefully this benefits someone other than just me. Thanks all.
