[opensuse] firefox not running java applet ?
This is a resumption of a thread from June or thereabouts, before the summer holidays kicked in and I forgot all about it. I'm trying to access a _really_ old Compaq Remote Insight Board - I've managed to work around the low-level encryption, but when trying to login, the applet apparently isn't started. Back in June Cristian Rodriguez suggested/suspected it might be a Java Webstart app, but it isn't. THis is what the HTML looks like: <APPLET code="CpqLogin.class" archive="CpqLogin.jar" width=350 height=90> <param name="SystemName" value="Compaq Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition"> <param name="RedirectUrl" value="index.html"> <param name="RedirectLoc" value="_self"> <param name="RedirectQueryString" value=""> <param name="Language" value="0"> </APPLET> I've looked at CpqLogin.jar, and with my limited java-knowledge, it doesn't appear to signed, self- or otherwise. I see no error messages from/in firefox. I have also tried with opera and Konqueror, same problem. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Assuming that java works, according to java.com: Have you tried adding the website to the Exception Site List in jcontrol, tab Security? I recall that running java applets was a very involved process, last time I tried. -- Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hmm, jcontrol->security doesn't seem to have any exception list. I can add certificates, that's all.

It ought to be straight forward, judging by the html snippet above. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm using the latest jre from java.com and the exception list is there.

Oracle supposedly increased the security of the sandbox, rendering running applets from the internet harder. Also, openSUSE no longer includes Oracle's runtime, which means that it may be necessary to configure update-alternatives manually. -- Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Okay, I guess I'm due for an upgrade.

Okay, I'll be taking a closer look. Thanks. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, tiny little problem - I have to use a back-level browser (FF 11.0) which will support the low-level encryption used by the card. (RC4-40). Java version is 1.6.0_29. Is there somewhere to look for a errors, a logfile or something? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You may activate the java console from jcontrol in the Advanced tab. Also, check whether the plugin is enabled in Firefox. -- Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks Peter, over the weekend that's exactly where I ended up - this browser does in fact not have java enabled .... duh. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.3°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
