| - | ====== 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. | ||

| - | ===== Configure Java 8 ===== | ||
| - | Java 8 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. | ||

| - | - Click on the **Edit Site List...** button to add sites to the list | ||

| - | - 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 close the Java Control Panel | ||

| - | ===== Running CX 8.1 ===== | ||

| - | * For the live database, browse to https://cx01.olin.edu:9040/CXConnect.htm | ||

| - | |||
| - | === Starting the Menu === | ||
| - | - Each time you use the CX 8.1 menu, Java will present the following security warning:\\ \\ {{cx81javawarning.png|Java security warning when running CX 8.1}}\\ \\ Despite the warning, the CX 8.1 application is safe to run, and unfortunately this message cannot be permanently bypassed at this time. | ||
| - | - Click on the checkbox next to ''I accept the risk and want to run this application.'' | ||
| - | * It is important to note that **this is the __only__ security warning you should accept -- all other security warnings on your system should be heeded and treated with extreme caution!** | ||
