Java Security Exceptions (when Banner/WebFocus doesn't load)

When a user logs into Banner or Webfocus, but the site never loads.

The UNC Asheville Banner site must be added as an Exception Site for users who have installed Java 7 Update 51 or later. The Exception Site List feature is being introduced in the release of Java 7 Update 51. By adding application URL to the Exception list allows users to run Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) that would normally be blocked by security checks.

Windows

Note: Instructions from http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/exception_sitelist.xml
