Disable java plugin in browser for obiee 10.1.3.4.0 analytics,bi publisher?

Hi,
Company using obiee 10.1.3.4.0, installed on aix machine, using IBM websphere server for the presentation layer.
Due to the recent java security alert, my company like to disable the browser java plugin.
Question is does obiee needs the browser to have the java plugin?
Can obiee analytics and bi publisher work properly through the browser without java plugin? Hope some experts here can provide me some answers. Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much to responding to my question.
I tried by disabling the Java Plugin in my IE browser and open a few chart reports with no problem.
Have you actually experience problem when you do that? Like to know when will it actually have problem.

  • How to disable Java Plugin on a few thousand Windows PCs?

    We have installed Sun Java 2 SE Runtime Environment 1.4.0 on all our Windows NT4/2000 Workstations. The installation was performed by InstallShield Silent as described on the following page: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/silent.html
    Now we want to change the following Java Plugin setting to disable the plugin for the Internet Explorer:
    "Control Panel / Java Plugin 1.4.0 / Browser Tab / Microsoft Internet Explorer" = disabled
    Because this we have to do this on a few thousand PCs we cannot do it manually. We are looking for a possibility to do this by a unattended or silent setup. Does Sun recommend a special procedure for doing this? Or does someone know the necessary registry or file changes? We've tracked the changes but we couldn't find a working solution.
    (We are using Microsoft SMS for software distribution and have the tools to make registry or file changes.)
    Thank you and regards
    Sven

    I Remembered that the JRE is simply doing a re-direct on the MSJVM key using "Treat As. So I did a MS Sysdiff to capture the changes. OFF.DMP and ON.DMP were created. OFF.dmp shows that there are basically 4 registry changes. I created the following cmd file to delete the 4 registry keys: Watch out for the word wraps....
    echo off
    REG DEL "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN" /FORCE
    REG DEL "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\SUN_JAVA_2" /FORCE

    REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.0\UseJava2IExplorer"
    IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO Successfull!
    This successfully works by removing the registry entries and therefore not redirecting IE to use the JRE. Then the NEQ or "not equal to" can be used to verify it and log your errors and report back to you as you so desire. OK, use EQU to find out if it fails because it is found.... We do this kind of thing as admin but user rights seem to work. If you wanted to you could create the OFF.DIF file and run sysdiff /apply /m OFF.DIF. Remember not to change anything but the uncheck & apply so you don't capture MRU and other user keys. I digress... Here are the complete ON.DMP and OFF.DMP text files line compressed for space.

  • Firefox keeps prompting users to disable java plugins How can reinable them through the command line or registry?

    Windows users keep getting prompted about java version being insecure and are advised to disable the plugin. They then complain that java based websites no longer work. Can I disable / prevent this warning feature. And can I re-enable java plugin via command line or script? I need to do this on a large scale and various versions of firefox. Right now I will need to abandon firefox if I cannot easily resolve this. Yes I realize updating to latest version of java is a solution... but this will take too much time now and how long before another security fix for java and then I will have to update yet again.

    Tylerdowner, to say that Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported is not an answer. Apparently, the so-called block deployed for the Mac OS X version of Firefox, created to deal with a vulnerability in Oracle's Java, has now crept into the Windows version. Moreover, it is blocking the latest version of Java, which was not intended according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741592. The official text of the block follows:
    Java Plugin has been blocked for your protection.
    Why was it blocked?
    Outdated versions of the Java plugin are vulnerable to an actively exploited security issue. All Mac OS X users are strongly encouraged to update their Java plugin through Software Update, or disable it if no alternatives are available. For more information, please read our blog post or Oracle's Advisory.
    Who is affected?
    All Firefox users who have installed the Java plugin, JRE versions below 1.6.0_31 or between 1.7.0 and 1.7.0_2.
    What does this mean?
    Users are strongly encouraged to disable the problematic add-on or plugin, but may choose to continue using it if they accept the risks described.
    When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other third-party software that seriously compromises Firefox security, stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this support article.
    Well, whoever wrote the code to block the Java plug-ins specified above screwed up, since it is blocking even the updated Java plug-in.
    I have an enterprise with many computers, and we had deployed Firefox as our browsing platform. Based on the latest decisions at Mozilla, new version numbering, forced release cycle, and almost all add-on vendors just walking away from the maintainence nightmare created by this decision, I guess it's time to move over to the Dark Side and adopt Google Chrome.

  • Force a particular ver. of Java plugin to load for a particular app on XP

    Hi all,
    We have installed 2 versions of Java PlugIns on the XP build. The versions are 1.2.2 and 1.3.1_06. Some applications require 1.2.2 while some other applications require 1.3.1. If 1.3.1 is loaded for the apps that require 1.2.2, some problems will occur, and vice versa. Is there a way to force 1.2.2 be loaded when the app that requires it is launched? Is there a way to indicate a particular version of Java PlugIn for a particular application so that the correct version of PlugIn will be used for the apps?
    Thanks!
    Tam

    If you can be sure only 1.3.1_06 and 1.2.2 are on the PC, I think you will be ok if you install 1.3.1_06 first and then 1.2.2. Then 1.2.2 will be set as the default JVM and your applet that uses 1.3.1_06 will have to use the CAFEEFAC-0013-0001-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA tag for object id.
    Unfortunately, this CAFE... convention only works in 1.3.1+ so you can't use it to specify 1.2.2. FYI - you can tell the default Java Plug-in version by looking in the registry at this key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D3}\InprocServer32
    Hope this helps!

  • Disable Java for security?

    I have Mac OSX 10.6.8.
    I read these articles:
    How to Detect and Protect Against Updated Flashback Malware

    Flashback botnet: The end of the Mac’s malware immunity?
    http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/flashback-botnet-the-end-of-the-macs-malw are-immunity/
    Beware the Morphing Flashback Malware
    http://tidbits.com/article/12818
    So, I disabled Java in all 4 of my installed browsers.  So far I have not noticed any downside. 
    “Disabling Java will block Flashback’s “drive-by” attack, and is the most effective way for earlier users of Mac OS X to protect themselves.
              •          Safari—Go to Preferences > Security, and uncheck “Enable Java.” (While you’re in there, go to Preferences > General and make sure “Open ‘Safe’ files after downloading” is unchecked.)
              •          Firefox—Choose Tools > Add-ons, select the Plug-ins Tab, and click the “Disable” button next to Java Plug-in.
              •          Chrome — Type chrome://plugins in Chrome’s address bar. A list of available plug-ins will appear. Find Java and click the “Disable” link beneath it.
    This doesn’t remove Java from your system, it just prevents Web browsers from launching or running Java apps. That’s enough to protect you from the drive-by nature of the Flashback attack. You’ll still be able to run desktop applications that require Java — a common example is things like Citrix’s GoToMeeting — but you may find you need to selectively re-enable Java in a browser to log in to services or download updates. In that case, you can selectively re-enable Java to get an app running, then disable it again when you’re done.”
    http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/flashback-botnet-the-end-of-the-macs-malw are-immunity/
    I also disabled Java in Opera browser from opera:plugins
    Comments?

    The latest threat is through authentic-looking, but fraudulent Adobe Flash installation dialogs which can only appear when using a browser. Diabling Java will prevent the trojan from entering your system that way.
    Java can also run as a standalone app for other programs designed for it. I believe Limewire was one example. It's been defunct for years and I don't know if there are any similar programs in common use. Disabling Java in Java Preferences as you explained will shut that door for good.
    For what it's worth I have not needed Java for anything since I bought my latest iMac. When I opened Java Preferences I got this:
    I was kind of surprised that I never even installed it. It's fair to say you probably won't miss it.
    The digitaltrends headline you referenced is misleading - Mac malware has existed in many forms for many years. OS X gives complete and unfettered access to any program, good or evil, that a user chooses to install by granting access with his login name and password.
    This is nothing new, nor does it herald the "end of immunity" since immunity never existed.

  • Disable Quicktime plugin for Internet Explorer

    There has been discussion on a number of forums regarding the Quicktime plugin for Windows Internet Explorer and how it will hijack file associations, preventing them from being opened up with your default application. This only occurs when clicking on a link on a website. This even occurs when the file assocations in Windows are set to open a particular media file with your desired player. Disabling the Quicking plugin in the Internet Explorer settings may only makes things worse because instead of the file playing with the Quicktime plugin, Internet Explorer displays a red "X", and doesn't play the media. Uninstalling Quicktime is a solution, but if you, like me, own a Apple device and use iTunes, Quicktime must be installed. There are a number of postings on the web with potential solutions, but none of them worked for me.
    After troubleshooting for some time, I have finally figured out how to disable the plugin once and for all. I have narrowed it down to the registry entry that apparently loads the plugin into Internet Explorer. By simply deleting this entry, the Quicktime plugin will no longer load with IE and media will be launched with your favorite player. You can easily revert back to the Quicktime plugin by restoring the registry entry from a backup. Below, I have provided the reg.exe command line commands to backup and delete the registry entry.
    1) Close out of Internet Explorer.
    2)Backup with this command:
    reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " C:\qt_plugin1.reg
    NOTE: This registry path is for Windows x64 (64-bit). I am not certain of the path for Windows x86 (32-bit), but I assume you may just need to remove Wow6432Node from the path. If it is not there, open regedit.exe and search for 4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69.
    3) Delete with this command:
    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " /f
    4) Open Internet Explorer and test. When you click on a music or video link, your default media player should now launch.
    I have tested this myself several times, including a reinstallation of Quicktime, and it worked. If it doesn't work for some reason, you can try performing the same steps with the following registry entries. Do one at a time and test so that you don't delete anything unnecessary.
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{CB927D12-4FF7-4A9E-A169-56E4B8A75598}
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B}
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Compo nents\3F9E7EA97A1AEE54490637032025DEF9
    If you wish to restore the Quicktime plugin, simply double-click the registry file that you backed up in step 2. Click yes when it asks you to confirm. Now when you open Internet Explorer and click on a link, the Quicktime plugin will load and play the media.

    I mentioned I have the Acrobat Pro 9 version.
    Also, Im using IE 8.

  • How do I get different and older versions of java plugin to work

    I want to use firefox at my work, my company uses a program that uses java. But the programmers at my company aren't really good and when they check for the java plugin they check for the specific jre-6u21 instead of the generic with 6uXX. Sometimes I have to use another version of the program that requieres Version=1,4,2,06. They work fine with iexplorer.
    If I update to the current version (update 24) Firefox can't find the plugin. Explorer just gives a warning that you might be missing important security updates.
    Can Firefox give a warning or run with the latest version instead of looking for the missing plugins?

    This is what Oracle has to say about the problem: [http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/other_jreversions.xml Download older versions of Java]
    If you install an older version in Firefox it will be listed in Tools | Add-ons | Plugins and you can disable it there. But as Oracle mentions, using older versions potentially exposes your system to attack such as the one mentioned here: [http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Java-SE-6-Update-24-fixes-floating-point-bug-1190818.html Floating Point Bug]

  • Firefox browser does not recognize Java plugin in 64 bit Linux

    I am running Firefox12 on RHEL5 with Java6u31 installed. Unfortunately firefox will not recognize the java plugin. I have tried linking it in the appropriate directory (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/760718?e=es&as=aaq) and I get nothing. The only feedback I seem to get is that when I go to this website: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ it tells me that Firefox has "disabled my version of Java because it is outdated" which is total BS because I have the latest version! Typing in "about:plugins" only shows the flash plugin (which is in the same directory !!!!)
    Java used to work in my browser and flash works fine and I've been trying for ages to get it to work again and I'm at a loss.
    Doesn't anyone else have this problem ??????????

  • Should the Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI 1.6.0.31 be disabled?

    I was updating my Google Blogger sites, and got a Firefox error message that I believe said that the Java Plug-in 2 for NAPAPI 1.6.0.31 should be disabled, and I should restart Firefox. I decided to sign out of my Blogger account before disabling the plugin, but when I did so, the Firefox error message was no longer there (so that's why I'm not positive it was that plugin). I went into the Plugin Check page and and see that the plugin is "up to date." Should I disable it anyway?

    hello, java versions including 1.6.0_31 & upwards should not be blocked by firefox, i don't know why you got the notification in the first place (maybe the block was implemented when there was still an out-of-date version of the plugin on your pc & the plugin update happened immediately afterwards).

  • Java plugin for Firefox and Chromium just not working

    Hi Arch Users
    I have been suffering with the IcedTea-Web for a while now. My banking service (in their stroke of genius) use java on there online service. So a problamatic plugin means that I am not able to use the website while on Linux.
    The issue is not specific to the bank's website. Doing the following is also problematic:
    1. Go to www.java.com
    2. Click on "Do I have Java?"
    3. Click on Verify Java Version
    4. Chromium does nothing after setp 3, Firefox has a small notification (bottom corner) saying Applet Started but nothign really happens (waited for 20min).
    Searching the Forums, showed people with similar problems with an older plugin. An idea I did get was to use the latest branch and compile it. So I changed the PKGBUILD to download the latest using:
    hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=${_jvmdir} \
    --datarootdir=/usr/share \
    --with-jdk-home=${_jvmdir} \
    --with-firefox=/usr/bin/firefox \
    --with-chromium=/usr/bin/chromium
    So currentely my FireFox reports the IcedTeaWeb as: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.4pre+r6e622e87010e). Unfortunately the issue remains.
    Please can anyone suggest me a way to overcome this issue. Currentely I have to use VirtualBox to run a browser in Windows (very very painful)!
    A while back I did contact the bank, informing them of the issue was met with a simple "We dont support Linux".
    Cheers!
