The added capability to manage the execution of Java applets only for
specific sites is helpful. What would be even more helpful is
documentation on how to pre-approve internal sites that need Java and
put in global denies for other sites. Ideally that could be locked down
so the end-user doesn't change it, I think that is less important than
starting off with the message to the users that "You should not use Java
in your browser except for these legacy sites that we have enabled it to
run. Don't run Java from anywhere else before talking to tech support or
IT security."
We are in different environments with different use cases. I would like
to start in just looking for some information on managing the sites in
the list.
