We have been seeing more and more reports of Java not working properly in web browsers.\u00a0 This article should allow a user to get things back up and running.\u00a0 First, here is a complete article describing what the settings are and what they do, and goes into how you can add sites to a trusted list, or simply edit the default security setting which will allow java web applets to prompt to ‘run’ before doing so.<\/p>\n

The safest way to allow java to run is to only identify and list the sites you know you use.\u00a0 However, as usual, security is at odds with ease of use, and we rarely know the exact URLs for the sites we need.\u00a0 As a result, I recommend we combine some ease of use, with common sense, and set the default security level to “Medium”.\u00a0 The medium level will still prompt a user before it runs a java applet with the web browser, so a user should only allow these to run, when they expect it.<\/p>\n
Accessing the Java Control Panel to adjust this setting is the first step.\u00a0 Here are directions:<\/p>\n

Once you have this open, you will click on the ‘Security’ tab, and slide the Security Level down to “Medium”.\u00a0 Now, click Apply and close the Java Control Panel.\u00a0 At this point, restart your web browser, and give the content another try.<\/p>\n
