Clients running Java JRE 8u51, and higher, experience issues with webNetwork's Java Applets
With the release of Java 8u51, all customers MUST be on 6.2.1.186 or higher with proper cipher and protocol allow/deny configuration in place for webNetwork Java applet functionality.
As of 8u51, Java is now prohibiting the RC4 cipher suite. If your webNetwork server is still allowing the RC4 cipher suite Java 8u51, and up, will refuse to download and run any webNetwork applets.
Please see the following article for more information on how to setup the proper cipher and protocol allow/deny configuration files:
The following is one example of the System Check's Java applet not working with Java 8u51 and the RC4 cipher suite still allowed by the webNetwork server:
System Check indicates "Unable to launch applet.", while the Java applet box shows:
"Error: Click for details"
Clicking on the applet box results in the following pop-up:
ClassNotFoundException
com.stoneware.applet.SWApplet.class
**Users using Internet Explorer for their browser may still run into these issues. Most notably when running a SSLVPN RDS webApp. This is an IE specific issue with how it handles new browser tabs, that our developers are currently working on.
For now the workarounds are:
1. Use another browser, if possible.
2. Set the webApps like to open in a Dojo Window, instead of a browser tab.
3. Change the profile setting for how new browser window links are handled, so that they do open in new browser windows, instead of new browser tabs.
