Is there a way to set Java security preferences with a script? We have a lab using Wordle and the site applet gets blocked by Java with the default "High" security level. When I drop the level to medium, it works fine. I'd like to set this level across all machines in this lab remotely. I tried the following defaults command:
defaults write com.oracle.javadeployment.plist deployment.securty.level MEDIUM
This added the key outside of my <dict> array. I'd like to add the MEDIUM security setting inside that array like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>/com/oracle/javadeployment/</key>
<dict>
<key>deployment.javaws.appicon.index</key>
<string>/Users/john/Library/Application Support/Oracle/Java/Deployment/cache/6.0/appIcon/appIcon.xml</string>
<key>deployment.javaws.splash.index</key>
<string>/Users/john/Library/Application Support/Oracle/Java/Deployment/cache/6.0/splash/splash.xml</string>
<key>deployment.modified.timestamp</key>
<string>1378397568382</string>
<key>deployment.proxy.type</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>deployment.security.level</key>
<string>MEDIUM</string>
<key>deployment.version</key>
<string>7.21</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Is there a way I can modify my defaults command or another way to do this?
Thanks,
John

you should be good to go with those permissions.

So after I run that package in Self-Service, I should be able to open my Java Preferences and see the slider set to Medium?

yes, make sure you check the box for FEU - fill existing users.

Still not doing it, and I had FEU checked.
