Workaround for Java security block
A recent update to Java will stop the StormVue applet from running.
Here is a solution:
- Open the Java Control Panel using Programs->Java->Configure Java
- Select the Security tab.
- Set the level to High.
- Click Edit Site List in the lower Exception Site List section.
- Click the Add button and enter https://www.skywatcher.net.nz in the Location field
- Click the Add button again and enter https://www.skywatcher.net.nz in the Location field
- Click OK
There’s a warning that HTTP is a security risk but HTTPS isn’t available in this case.
- Click Continue
- Click OK
- Run or restart your browser and open the lightning tracker page.
It will prompt you to confirm that you want to run the application.
- Click Run…
NOTE: You must use the "skywatcher" addresses and not the site the tracker is displayed in.
