You previously installed a copy of the Remote Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Console. 

After upgrading to Java 7 Update 51 you are no longer able to launch the remote Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Console.

You receive an an application error: "Unable to launch the application."

Name: Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

Publisher: Symantec Corporation

Location: http://sepm.domain.local:9090 (The URL will vary depending on what machine SEPM is installed on.)

When you click on "Details", you will see the following error: "Missing required Permissions attribute in main jar: http://sepm.domain.local:9090/clientpkg/scm-ui.jar"

 Improved security settings in the Java 7 client prohibit you from launching the Java application.

  • Proceed to the Windows Control Panel, and click on "Java"
  • Click on "Security"
  • Click on "Edit Site List..."
  • Click on "Add" and add the location, for example: "http://sepm.domain.local:9090" (the URL needs to match the URL displayed in the error)


     
  • Click on "Continue" when you receive a warning about including an HTTP location
  • Click on "OK"
  • Click on "OK" again

At this point you can try launching the Remote Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console again.

" Files behind the Exception Site List

Update Jan 22: The Exception Site List is intended for end-users to create their own whitelist. If you are a System Administrator managing this across many machines, you will find the Deployment Rule Set much easier. Group Policy efforts are better used behind distributing a Deployment Rule Set. You can self-sign a DRS.

The Exception Site List is aimed towards end-users controlling their own Exception Site List.

The file controlling the Exception Site List is stored in the user’s deployment location as described in the deployment configuration. On my Windows 7 laptop, this location is C:\Users\ecostlow\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\exception.sites

The format is one site per line."
