When Java 1.7.0_51 came out the other day, it messed everything up again (sigh). Never fear! Our team of tireless tyrannical techies never quits. It's a pretty simple fix, this time with a policy instead of a configuration profile.
In System Preferences, the new update shows a new window in the security tab:

You can simply add in your sites there, but if you want to roll something out for everyone, create a file with something like TextWrangler called "exception.sites".
external image link
Create a package in Composer where this file is put into ~/Library/Application Support/Oracle/Java/Deployment/security. This can be distributed via policy.

This, in tandem with the Safari plist configuration profile, makes it simple to accommodate when customers update java. We also created a combo updater that updates java, and adds the site list- that way people can get it all in one click of Self Service.
