Description

Tested with:

  • Java Plug-in 10.80.2.15
  • Using JRE version 1.7.0_80-b15 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM


I had to manually set the security settings in the Java Web Start (Java Control Panel) to Medium ("Least secure setting"). They seem to come by default with High security ("Minimum recommended"), which doesn't allow to run java apps with untrusted, or invalid certificates; it could be even worse, with the "Very High" setting).

Same issue in a 12.x LTS site, or with a 14.x site (both updated recently through svn)

Image

Once that java security setting was changed to Medium, I was able to see the jCapture applet as usual, once I acceped the popup window indicating that it was a security risk to accept to run that java application, etc. (this will frighten most users, imo)

FYI, Java console says:

Copy to clipboard
Missing Application-Name manifest attribute for: http://myproductionserver.org/vendor/jcapture-applet/jcapture-applet/lib/jcapture.jar
