We will probably need to pay attention to this when running SeeVough in 
the conference room.

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

Contact the IT Helpdesk with any questions or concerns at 
heldpesk at jlab.org <mailto:heldpesk at jlab.org> or x7155.
