Java popup

[mrbios]

Does anyone know if it's possible to stop java from popping up the "are you sure you want to run this?" box where it asks you to click run? It's for a certified application so it's not like it's using a self-signed cert or anything.

 

Using IE 11 and Chrome, does the same thing in both.

 

I've got it in the approved plugins list for chrome.

I think its by design same as the im too old im not running anything garbage it does or with hp switches for example it wont let you use them unless you add the ip as an exception. I really wish java would either go away or would just work rather than been a total pita it is after about v7r15

That's how Java Drive-by's work Java generally doesn't recommend it regardless of who made the java applet purely for security reasons, the only way I know is by using weird cryptographic coding styles and other methods that your anti-virus won't like.

Without going into details, deployment.config is probably where you want to look Deployment Configuration File and Properties

They really need to release some group policy templates and allow you to add websites as exceptions that way, it really needs some granularity to managing it, at least that way they could keep the security and allow flexibility.

 

Our IT teachers recently started teaching ECDL through enlight, which requires java, and some kids even on their 3rd lesson just click cancel or don't bother clicking at all and letting the box time out on the java popup. It's dead simple to just click it, but we're dealing with teenagers here....

Cheers I'll take a look

If I understand you correctly, you are getting prompted because you are running something other than the most recent version of the Java plugin.

 

Internet Explorer begins blocking out-of-date ActiveX controls - IEBlog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

 

Read the part listed under "Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking for managed environments".

 

Hope this helps.

Are you seeing the bottom popup shown below? You could try what @AngryTechnician suggested here.

You need to look at Deployment Rulesets. This means you can whitelist a Java application eg. http://oldjavaapp.Dom.co.uk You can specify which version to use. It also prevents prompts. You have to create an XML file insert it into a jar file and sign the jar file.

[Arthur]

sign the jar file.

Which code signing certificate do you use? Comodo's seems to be the cheapest, but it still means spending between $83.85-$335.45 (£52.18-£208.76) depending upon the validity period.

It is indeed the bottom one, sadly i've tried what's suggested in that post, i've also tried the following settings:

deployment.security.level=MEDIUM

deployment.insecure.jres=NEVER

deployment.security.mixcode=HIDE_RUN

 

but sadly those didn't work either. It's not a major issue, it's more of an annoyance i thought would have been easy to hide but it seems it's not as easy as i thought
