Configuring HotJava

Sun Internet Administrator and Sun Internet Services Monitor both require the security settings in HotJava to allow applet and servlet functionality. Follow the procedures in this section to set security appropriately.

Configuring HotJava for Sun Internet Administrator

The Solaris for ISPs remote administration applets require access to certain client system properties when they load. If your HotJava applet security settings are set to:

• High Security, the applets may not be able to load.

• Medium Security, you will be asked if the applet should be allowed to access to system properties when it loads.

You must configure the browser to Medium Security or Low Security. To configure:

1. Start HotJava and go to the Edit menu.

2. Choose Preferences from the pull-down menu and select Applet Security from the cascade menu.

3. Select Low Security for signed applets and Medium Security for unsigned applets by clicking on the respective radio buttons.

4. Click on Apply.
