OnpremiseSC – Java Security Warning on Opening Shipping Page

Problem:

While launching the shipping page in Onpremise ShipConsole, a Java security message is displayed, preventing further access.

This typically occurs after a Java upgrade if the ShipConsole URL is removed from the Java Control Panel’s Exception Site List.

Solution:

1. Verify Exception List in Java Control Panel:

   • Open Java Control Panel on the client machine.

   • Navigate to the Security tab.

   • Check if the ShipConsole URL (e.g., http://your-shipconsole-url) is present in the Exception Site List.

2. Add ShipConsole URL to Exception List (if missing):

   • Click Edit Site List.

   • Add your ShipConsole server URL.

   • Click OK to save changes.

3. Applet Code Signature Note:

   • The ShipConsole Applet is signed using DigiCert.

   • Even though it is signed, the URL must be explicitly added to the exception list because:

     • The Weighing Scale code (hardware integration) runs on the locally installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and requires explicit permission to execute.
