Java Pages dont work unless FW disabled

Some time over the past few weeks an F-Secure update has stopped the ability of Java applets from running. These are legitimate consoles used for managing storage or simply for Java testing. I cant find anything in Google on this but its deffinately not browser related...

Anyone got any ideas, its annoying have to 'allow all traffic' for something that should already be allowed...

Thanks

Ok, feedback confirms this as the solution (in my case at least). There were some inconsistencies with some users not been able to use Java, but in ALL those cases it was shown that multiple Java versions were present.

By removing all versions except for the latest (7u7) and having the correct rule in the PM, Java works as its supposed to. Hope this helps

Had the same issue, but after changing IPv6=Normal scanning (under the advanced view-firewall settings) and ensuring that the firewall rules were correctly setup for IPv6, my java issues seem to have disappeared. At least on the test clients.

Testing amongst users and awaiting feedback from them, but it looks promising at least

Might be worth pionting out that this issue doesnt affect everyone and as for adding IPv6 info, well IPv6 is disabled on the local machines and the Mgt Console is v9.0 so doesnt have the option to omit IPv6...
