Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions.

I ended up breaking out an old XP laptop with FireFox that could still connect with my VPN, loading up Java,
and (most importantly) adding the tape drive's URL to the Java Exception Site List.

Thanks again.

What browser config are you using to access it?

The secret sauce is to put the tape drive's URL into the Java exception
site list. https://java.com/en/download/faq/exception_sitelist.xml

The issue is that the 2900 is using a self-signed certificate, and Java
thinks that's a Bad Idea. Which it is, but changing horses while we're
swimming across the bay isn't my idea of a good time.
