+ | |||
+ | ==== 1. Application Blocked By Security Settings ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will receive this error if you have your Java security settings too high for Iceclient to run. Because I have not yet purchases a code signing certificate, the client is "unsigned" code. This means it triggers additional warnings and restrictions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:iceclient:error-application-blocked.png|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | To fix this, you can either lower your Java security setting to **Medium**, or add a site exception for **http://armouree.vm.bytemark.co.uk**. This is done in the [[iceclient:javacontrolpanel|Java Control Panel]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 2. Security Warning ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will receive this warning, again because there is no signed code. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:iceclient:error-security-warning.png|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | This scary message is just a warning, and does not prevent the application from running. Simply click on the checkbox and press **Run**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Don't blindly accept this. The warning is there for a reason making you question whether the code you are about to run is from a trusted source, i.e. me. All I can say is I have not knowingly included anything bad.// | ||

To do so, locate the Java control panel (there is a link in Windows control panel, or use the **jcontrol** command on other operating systems). In there, locate **Temporary Internet Files**, then the **View** button. From the window that pops up, you can remove installed Web Start applications. | + | * Try removing the 'cached' application.
