Fix issue with Java Applets in ITIM Console

By Siva Praturi

The IBM Tivoli Identity Manager administrative user interface (ITIM Console) uses java applets which requires a Java plug-in in browsers (e.g. IE & Firefox)

Below are two common issues we face while using them.

1. Java applets not getting loaded
2. Can not copy content from Java applets

To resolve issue#1 you need to install latest JAVA/JRE and that would automatically set the Java plug-in in browsers (e.g. IE & Firefox).

To resolve issue#2 you need to update java.policy. See steps below.

• Locate java.policy file (JREPATH \lib\security) on the server
• Add the following line down the bottom before the last closing bracket.

permission java.awt.AWTPermission "accessClipboard";

• Save the java.policy file

Note: if your system has multiple JRE installed, then you need to locate the correct java.policy file and update it.

After fixing issues, close all browser instances and Open new one to access ITIM Console.
