| - | ====== Jenzabar CX 8.1 Client Configuration ====== | ||
| - | The Jenzabar CX 8.1 menu is a Java-based user interface. Your system will need to have the 32-bit version of Java 7 or later installed and properly configured or it will not be able to connect to the CX server. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Verify Java Version and Architecture ===== | ||
| - | Before proceeding, verify that you have the correct version and architecture of Java installed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Go to **Start** > **Control Panel** > **Programs and Features** | ||
| - | - Scroll down to check the versions of Java installed | ||
| - | - Correct versions will be listed as ''Java 7 Update NN'' where ''NN'' is some number. Incorrect versions include ''Java 7 Update NN (64-bit)'' and ''Java(TM) 6 Update 45''. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If needed, remove any older or incorrect versions of Java and install the latest version from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale-=en (select either "Windows Online" or "Windows Offline"). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Configure Java 7 ===== | ||
| - | Java 7 will not permit self-signed applications to run without first adding security exceptions for them. Because Jenzabar CX 8.1 code is still signed with a self-signed certificate as of July 2014, creating these exceptions is a mandatory step. | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Go to **Start** > **Java** > **Configure Java** to open the Java Control Panel | ||
| - | - Click on the **Security** tab | ||
| - | - Click on the **Edit Site List...** button to add sites to the list | ||
| - | - In the newly-opened Exception Site List window, click the **Add** button | ||
| - | - Type or paste the following to allow connections to the live database, and hit ''Enter'' when complete:\\ \\ <code>https://cx01.olin.edu:9040</code> | ||
| - | - Click the **Add** button again | ||
| - | - Type or paste the following to allow connections to the train database, and again hit ''Enter'' when complete:\\ \\ <code>https://cx01.olin.edu:9045</code> | ||
| - | - Click **OK** to accept these changes and close the Exception Site List window | ||
| - | - Click **OK** to close the Java Control Panel | ||
| - | |||

| - | - Click on the checkbox next to ''I accept the risk and want to run this application.'' | ||
