Safari/Firefox -- Managing Internet sites for the Java Plug-In

[Millertime]

Hey J-Nation... I've been searching the interwebs and haven't come up with a solution I can implement on a systems management scale, so I'm looking to you all for some help.

Requirement:
A way to white list a set of internal URLs and give them permission to use the Oracle Java plugin (/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/JavaAppletPlugin). Preventing the user's from manually interacting with each dialog.

Use Case:
This is critical to improving the user experience when my user's change their Directory password through our Password Change website. Currently users must interact with approximately 5 dialogs related to Java, and if they click the wrong button then the site isn't able to access Java, and will bomb out. So I'm hoping there is a programmatic approach I can take that will allow me to tell each system to allow certain sites to use the Oracle Java. This will not only improve user experience, but will also provide a consistent experience for all users. Which will make this a more supportable solution.

Thanks in advance!
Bill

The way you've stated the problem, this discussion should help (for Safari): https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=8789

However, since you mentioned Firefox, I think you might also have a slightly different problem (allowing Java to run unsigned code). Check this post: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=9453

Well I posted about specific issues I ran into in the past, like with NetConnect, and it might not have been so obvious that it was around managed plugin policy and java's new security measures.
