How to use Java run time v1.7 (and newer) exception list for self-signed applets

Oracle have updated their Java with a lot of annoying popups.

Oracle probably think that this increase the security of their “swiss cheese executable container” called java.

Adito is no longer developed and at the time it was, Java was “the-way-todo-it”.

Adito from my site is a unsigned applet, the default setup action now is to block it.

The best way to get rid of the problem is to decrease the security settings to “Medium”.

But you can add exceptions for your own site, and still keep “security” high.

Below this method is explained.

Here is the problem when you run Adito without rights to run:

java warning 1

java block 1

java failed 1

To fix this go to the control-panel, then run Java-settings:

java controlpanel

Go to the security-tab and push the “Edit site list”:

java security

Add your site to the security list, this is the same as in your browser addressfield:

java security add site

java security add site localhost

Now when you reload your Adito-agent, you will be presented with this prompt:

java in browser accept agent

If you accept the risk, check it and push run.

(The Adito-agent is compiled by me, unchanged from source.)

The agent should be running like before.
