Hey all,
Currently I am testing the below on OS X 10.10.1 -- I am going around in circles trying to get Java configured in our corporate environment to be as close to our Windows configuration as I can. My end goals from deploying with Casper are this:
- Creation of an Exception Site List
- Setting various fields in deployment.properties
- Ensuring the sites listed in the first bullet are functional in Safari, Chome, and Firefox
The first bullet I've successfully deployed using this example:
http://derflounder.wordpress.com/2014/01/16/managing-oracles-java-exception-site-list/
...meaning the exception.sites is populated with the websites I want listed.
The second bullet I've accomplished (local only, haven't deployed with Casper yet) with lots of googling and verified if I manually import my file to: /Library/Application Support/Oracle/Java/Deployment/ ...the security slider in the Java control panel is indeed moved to the appropriate level and locked from user-interaction (good).
What I am actually struggling with is: even when a site is listed in the exception.sites file, when I browse to the site in Safari I am still prompted with: "Java blocked for this website" error (i.e. "do you want to trust the website <name> to use the Java plug-in?")
I can manually click the Trust button and the site works fine, but I need to suppress this for our end-users and I thought since the site is explicitly noted in the exception.sites file, it should then be trusted? What am I missing here...
Both Chrome and Firefox seem to be completely different animals that I've barely looked at, aside to verify both aren't working correctly. For now, I'm more concerned with getting Safari working as expected and I'll re-visit those.
Please let me know if you need any more info from me, otherwise I'm curious if anyone has ideas. Thanks!
