The problem is with a certificate that has been used to sign one or more of the JAR files that make up the TopCoder Java application. The certificate expired on March 25th this year. If you still want to run the application, even though the certificate has expired, then you need to add it to the Exception Site List within Java Control Panel.
- Starting with Java 8 Update 20 (Java 8u20) and later versions the option to lower the security setting in the Java Console Panel to Medium has been removed. Prior, changing the setting to Medium would quickly resolve issues where certain unsigned Java applets would not run. Now, with Java 8u20 and later, only High and Very High levels are available. These security levels are described on the.
- 'your security settings have blocked a local application from running'. Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done.
- We deploy our application as a JNLP launch file and/or as a webpage applet. I have a customer that updated his MAC OSX system to the latest Java Version 1.840. After upgrading the JNLP launch stopped working. It seems to start Java (flashes blue java logo) then stops. No Exception is thrown. I suspect yet another OSX security hurdle.
- Apple blocks Java on Macs over security flaws; Apple's decision to block Mac computers from running programs that use Oracle's Java programming language has had some unintended consequences.
Oracle released version 7u51 of Java on Tuesday. Along with the update’s release, they flipped the switch on a security setting to block unsigned or self-signed Java applets. This impacts previous version of Java 7 but not Java 6. As a result, if you have Java 7 installed and try to run a Java application, you may get a message like the following that says:
“Application Blocked by Security Settings
Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running.”
Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running.”
Java 7u51 introduced a security exception list where you can list domains that should be allowed to run Java applications that would be blocked on the default High security setting because they are self-signed or unsigned. The update also cleared all previous security messages that users have checked the box to always remember an application and not warn about security concerns.
To add a site to the exception list, you can find the Security tab on the Java Control Panel (through the Windows Control Panel).

You can click on the Edit Site List button to get a simple interface to whitelist sites that should be allowed to run. You may have to include the full URL and the port for the exception site list to work with your application.
The file is just a simple text file with each site listed per line stored at %userprofile%AppDataLocalLowSunJavaDeploymentsecurityexception.sites
I put my exceptions in through the Java Control Panel. I then copied the file to a central server and deployed it to the network to add our default exceptions. You can use a script or a group policy preference to push out your master list and you now have a managed Java site exceptions list. I went the route of the group policy preference to push a file to users. So far, it seems to have worked out pretty well.
Mac
For the Mac side, you can do the same thing. Under System Preferences, go to the Java Control Panel. Switch to the Security tab and add your application’s domain to the site exception list.
-->This step-by-step article describes how to set Java security in Internet Explorer. You can configure Internet Explorer with default security settings or with custom security settings. The custom security settings explicitly define Java permissions for signed and unsigned applets. The Microsoft Virtual Machine must be installed to configure the custom Java permissions.

To configure Java security in Internet Explorer:
- Start Internet Explorer, and then click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
- In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab.
- There are four security zones on the Security page:
- Internet
- Local intranet
- Trusted Sites
- Restricted Sites
Select the zone on which you want to change the Java security settings. - In the Security level for this zone frame, click Custom Level. In Internet Explorer, click Custom Level, and then click Settings.
- View the Microsoft VM section (the Java section in Internet Explorer)
- In the list of Java Permissions under the Microsoft VM, click Custom.
- Click Java Custom Settings.
- Click the View Permissions tab to view the current Java permissions. The Java permissions are grouped in three main categories:
- Permissions Given to Unsigned Content
Unsigned Java applets that request these permissions can run without bringing up a user prompt. - Permissions That Signed Content Are Allowed
Signed Java applets that requests these permissions can run without user prompting. - Permissions That Signed Content Are Denied
Signed Java applets are denied these permissions.
- Permissions Given to Unsigned Content
- Click the Edit Permissions tab. Select the option you need for more exact control over Java permissions for the zone. If you do not want to keep the settings that you have made, you can click the Reset button to reset permissions to:
- Saved permissions
- High Security
- Medium Security
- Low Security
- Click OK, and then click OK again.

Note
Use caution when you adjust Java permissions. Some Java-based programs may not work properly after you change permissions. Some changes to Java permissions can make your computer liable to security breaches by hackers. Microsoft recommends that you do not change the default permissions unless you have a specific purpose for doing so.
