Hi. Not sure where else to post this topic, hope this is the right place.
My college uses Cisco Clean Access to make my life miserable, and I need the Java plugin to use their little login applet to get access to the outside world through the wireless network here. Unfortunately, when i use the openjdk6 package, loading the applet makes firefox segfault. When I use JRE, I receive a message about a certificate error (unsurprising, since I can't access the outside world to retrieve the certificate). I am informed that the applet will run as "unsigned," which apparently means drastically reduced permissions. However, this applet needs to be able to retrieve my MAC address, so this kind of puts me in a bind.
My solution thus far has been to alter my java.policy:
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}Granting all permissions to everyone isn't optimal, so I remove this after logging in. This gets to be a pain in the ass, though. I was hoping someone here might have a better, safer workaround. Any help would be appreciated.
