Java Update and Configuration Change

To work around the current security flaw in Java 7, the CNI group will push out a new update (Java 1.7 update 11) to all Computer Center-managed Windows users who have installed Java 7 on their desktop. With this update, we will also modify the configuration of Java via the Java Control Panel to turn off all browser access to Java 7. Staff and users who need to run Java from their browser can turn this back on, but should turn it back off as soon as they can for continued protection from the current security flaw and others, as the new update does not adequately address the current Java security issue. The CNI group is working on a web page with instructions for turning Java back on via the Java Control Panel, which will be available no later than tomorrow morning, Jan. 16:  https://cc.jlab.org/java7enable
