The ie "security exception"

i am new to applets. and, i am sure i am having a problem everyone before me has had. but i can't find the solution.
for ie to run an applet, the viewer is prompted with a security warning regarding whether to accept/reject. the prompt at the top of the web page becomes:
+"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..."+
i know you can use javascript to get embedded flash to play without the security prompt. is there a similar trick for applets? i don't know javascript that well.
i need to assume viewers have at least a "medium high" security setting on their browser.
so, what do applet developers do?

unfortunately the do_not_trust certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.

Using StartTLS with IMAP connection to Exchange is giving me different certificates for machines different to the IMAP server, security exception each time

I'm using Thunderbird with my work email account, which is using Exchange, this is not officially supported but access is allowed via IMAP.
The problem is when I'm using StartTLS or SSL I'm getting multiple different self signed certificates being returned, seeming depending on which specific backend server is handling the request, each time it causes the Confirm Security Exception dialog to be displayed. If I confirm the exception I get the dialog being displayed again until eventually I get a certificate that seems to match the first certificate I confirmed, at which point I can download or send my pending mail.
Thus is seems that there is only one certificate being stored as an exception for each server connection. Is there some way round this?
Thanks.

What is the reason for the exception prompt in the first place?

Untrusted Connection - when I try to add a security exception, NOTHING happens

A game company Web site I go to all the time has just started giving me Untrusted Connection messages. I was able to visit it with no problems as recently as a few hours ago, but now I just get a page that says "You have asked Firefox to connect securely to [site], but we can't confirm that your connection is secure" and goes on to explain about security certificates and so on.
When I click "I understand the risks" then "Add exception", an "Add Security Exception" dialog box comes up as expected. However, when I click "Confirm Security Exception" on that dialog box (with or without clicking "Get Certificate" first), LITERALLY NOTHING happens. I don't mean I get an error message, or some result I'm not expecting, or even that the dialog box disappears. When I say nothing happens, I mean quite literally NOTHING happens. The button is not greyed out, yet clicking it has absolutely no effect. This leaves me with no means of closing the dialog box except clicking "Cancel", and therefore no means of accessing the site.
I've seen similar problems mentioned on this site, but mostly they either have the button greyed out (mine isn't) or they get a conflicting message saying the certificate is fine and doesn't need replacing (I don't). I have not seen anyone else post about my version, where everything looks normal and internally consistent yet the "Confirm Security Exception" button is non-functional.
This is not the first time I've had this problem, but it's the most annoying in that this time, it's affecting a site I normally visit several times a day rather than one I don't care that much about. As far as I recall, in my hands the "Confirm Security Exception" button has NEVER functioned, with the problem even surviving a near-total replacement of the hardware including the hard drive Firefox lives on.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
Note that some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.

In Firefox 4.0 with a Server with a self signed certificate using IPv6 I can not add a "Security Exception" for this certificate.

In Firefox 4.0 I have a server ... it contains a self signed certificate. Using IPv6 I can not add a "Security Exception" for this certificate.
1. I log onto the server (using IPv6). I get the "Untrusted connection page" saying "This connection is Untrusted"
2. I click on "Add Exception.." under the "I understand the Risks" section.
3. The "Add Security Exception" dialog comes up. soon after the dialog comes up I get an additional "Alert" dialog saying
An exception occured during connection to xxxxxxxxx.
Peer's certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the User.
(Error code sec_error_untrusted_issuer).
Please note that this works in Firefox 3.6.16 (in IPv4 and IPv6). It also works in Firefox 4.0 in IPv4 only IPv6 has an issue. What's wrong?

Exactly the same problem, except I'm using FF v6 for Windows, not FF v4 as for the lead post. This is for a self-cert which IS trusted, although the error message says it isn't.

Is this because the jar is not signed?
Thanks!

In case anyone is interested, I've solved my own problem. I had to sign the jars and then also add the: <security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
tag to the jnlp file.

Plug-In 1.3 grant permissions / security exception

Hi,
we have an signed applet that request a file on user disk and get the following security exception on Netscape 7.0.
We are using the JRE 1.3.1_04 Plug-In.
java.security.PrivilegedActionException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission A:\ read).
I read that I must create a policy-file and grant the permission that I need.
I changed the jre\lib\security\java.policy and grant "permission java.security.AllPermission;" all permissions and it works.
But how can I avoid that each customer must edit his jre\lib\security\java.policy or add a new policy file in this directory ?
Is it possible to add a policy file to the applet jar that I deliver to the customer and that is used by the permission check by the JRE.
When using the PlugIn I thought that I don't need any java code to set explicit privileges inside the applet, like PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileAccess") (in NS) or PolicyEngine.assertPermission(PermissionID.FILEIO) (in IE) ?
Also, when I used IE 5.0 (without changes to the java.policy file) I don't get a security exception when the applet request the floppy disk. Why that ?
Regards
Michael

Dear Michael ,
I encounter similar problem. Do you have any finding or solution?

After clicking that MANY times it finally goes away only to popup a little while later and I'm forced to repeat the process.

I failed to Confirm Security Exception for a site confirmed to be trusted, but apparently only supported by Internet Explorer, and am now barred from the site, so how do I access it?

I have been successfully accessing a secure site using a Citrix plugin. The security certificate for the site was renewed on 17 September and is valid, but is apparently supported by Explorer. When I accessed it today, Firefox reported it as Insecure. I attempted to bypass the Firefox block, but must have failed to Confirm Security Exception, so that my access is now denied as I 'have said this is not a trusted site' (error 183). Is there any way I can now access the site.

Thank you for your reply.
My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.
Regards.

How do I delete a Security Exception from the list of items where 'Confirm Security Exception' has been selected?

I looked at all the previous solutions, some of which were the same., but they didn't answer my question.
Firefox 17.01
Ubuntu 12.04
If I go to
Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced --> Encryption
it looks like 'View Certificates' is the likeliest place to look for the Security Exceptions resulting from me clicking 'Confirm Security Exception'.
I have looked at the five tabs on the next dialog box 'Certificate Manager', and the most likely looks like the 'Servers' tab.
On this tab, I can see that there is a button to 'Add Exception...', but nowhere to 'Show Exceptions', and the 'Add Exception...' button only provides means to add a new exception.

Correct: you can find the exceptions under the '''Servers''' tab. Unlike other entries, your custom exceptions should have the '''Server''' column filled out; this should make them easier to locate. Select an entry, then click the '''Delete...''' button.

Getting security exception dialogue box. How do I know this is valid to allow an exception? Especially with the SSL bug out there?

Worried about Heartbleed bug. Getting "Add Security Exception" when sending e-mail. How can I verify this change is accurate?

Normally Firefox talks directly to the mail server, but there are a few reasons that an intermediate program or server might intercept your mail session. Not all of these are good reasons.
Some security suites include a filtering feature. In order to filter secure connections (HTTPS URLs), the security software presents a fake certificate to Firefox so it can intercept and stand in the middle of the secure connection. To have Firefox trust these certificates, you may need to do something such as import a root certificate, or click something in your security software's settings.
But... many users are finding that rogue software they didn't realize they had installed is the culprit.
When you are offered the option to add a security exception, does Thunderbird let you view the problem certificate? For example, in Firefox, you can click the Add Exception button in the error page, then in the dialog click View Certificate or Get Certificate to see the Issued by section. You do not need to finish adding an exception.
We want to get to the "Issued by" section of the certificate, as this often points to the source of the problem.
The kind of issuer you might find is:
* Name associated with your security software, such as ESET, BitDefender, etc.
* Sendori (indicates unwanted software from Sendori)
* FiddlerRoot (indicates unwanted software named similarly to BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard)
* Something else
What do you see?

How do I review the Security Exceptions I have approved?

A site I've been using for months just popped up the security exception screen again. I know I cleaned out some things on this browser a couple of days ago, so I wonder if my Security Exceptions are included. But I can't find where Firefox stores those.
Thanks!

Do you mean certificates ?
*Tools > Options > Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates
You can copy the file cert8.db to transfer the stored intermediate certificates.
If you made exceptions (not recommended) then it is best to see if you can install missing intermediate certificates instead of adding an exception.
A possibility is to check the website via a website like added below and save and install certificates that are marked red to indicate that they are not send.

C Stamp On the "Add certificate Exception" warning, what to check to keep Thunderbird's security default: "Confirm security exception" or "Cancel?"

When the dialog box "Add certificate exception" comes up with the warning "You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site," which is the safe box to check?
I want to stay with Thunderbird's security system. Do I check "Confirm Security Exception" or "Cancel"?

Unfortunately, some sites do not maintain their certificates properly. So basically if you trust the site, you can confirm the exception. If it is an unknown site or you are not sure about it, then Cancel. Of course if you don't confirm the exception, you won't be able to see/use the site.

How can I get Firefox to load pages properly and stop asking me to add every single page I visit as a "security exception"?

I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox today because it is required for some of the websites I need for my college courses. However, every single website I go to (even the Mozilla site, Google, etc.) says that there's an "untrusted connection." On some sites I have an option between "Get me out of here!" or to add this particular site as a security exception. As you can probably imagine, this is very time consuming and frustrating. I have uninstalled the program (clean uninstall) and reinstalled it. I have reset Firefox, and nothing helps. The problem persists in Safe Mode as well. Along with this issue, every website I manage to get access to is all kinds of messed up. Modules are missing, or the whole page is blank. It can sit there for an hour and nothing loads. I have a good internet connection and fast processor. I was using Chrome before, and Internet Explorer with no issue. About two years ago I used Mozilla Firefox on this same computer and had no issues. I have a 64-bit system, which is the only issue I can think might be causing this problem. I have gone through and tried changing just about every setting, and nothing has helped. I am at my wit's end because I have homework to do and can't because of this problem.

Glad it is fixed. Thanks for posting back, (even if we are not sure exactly what happened).
