Java Updates

ITS sent out an email that there was an update for Java that could affect some browsers accessing certain content (called applets) on some websites. There is a fix for this until ITS can push out another update. If you encounter a student that seems to be having this kind of issue (as always feel free to call me if you're unsure) here are the instructions for fixing it straight from the ITS email:

1. Click on the Start menu and select Control Panel
2. Select Programs and then click on the Java icon
3. Click on the Security tab in the Java Control Panel window
4. Click the “Edit Site List” button
5. Click the Add button, then type the URL of the website you would like to whitelist. Click OK.
6. Click Continue to confirm.


This will "white list" the website and allow access to the content. This is on a per-computer basis though and not a network setting that will follow them around.
