You can check Adding a site to the Exception Site List and follow the steps provided there to configure Exception List on Linux.

Linux/Solaris - Run the jcontrol command.

  • Choose the Security tab.
  • Click the "Manage Site List" button near the bottom.
  • A new window will open.

  • Click OK. The window will close. You may see an additional prompt if you use an unencrypted protocol such as http or file. Choosing encrypted protocols defends against potential man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Back on the control panel, click OK to close it.
  • Reload the web page on your browser to launch the RIA.
