THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:
- EFT Server, version 6.x and later
SYMPTOM
Java Security Warning prompt appears while the Web Transfer Client (WTC) is loading.
RESOLUTION
Click Don’t Block. The WTC will finish loading and be fully functional.
MORE INFORMATION
As of Java update 7u21, Java has started warning users of potentially unsafe code when web applications they are about to run contain JavaScript code that is used with trusted Java components. A dialog, shown above, gives the user the option to block the application or to keep going.
Java provides a mechanism for keeping the user from being prompted and it has been implemented for the WTC. However, until the fix has been propagated to EFT Server, there is a temporary workaround to avoid displaying the prompt every time the WTC is started. You can disable the prompt in the Java Control Panel.
To disable the prompt
- Click Start > Control Panel, then click the Java icon. (Or click Start > Run, type/paste: c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javacpl.exe, then click OK. This is the default path; your path may differ.)
- In the Java Control Panel, click the Advanced tab, and scroll toward the bottom of the dialog box.
- In the Mixed code area, click Enable - hide warning and run with protections.
- Click OK.
This should be considered a temporary solution as hiding this prompt may allow malicious software to have access to the client and server systems.
