Resolution

If you can't apply the solution ( install the univiewer console 6.6.25 or superior), please apply the following workaround to add the tomcat server on the exceptions sites on the java control panel.

If you launch the univiewer webconsole from this link: http://server.domain.com:8080/univiewer_webconsole_6.6.21_all_os/,
The tomcat server url is: http://server.domain.com:8080

In order to add the exception, you have to go to:

Control Panel – Java - Security



Click on Edit Site List.

Then click on Add and paste the tomcat server url



After that, click on Ok and then on Continue. Then you can close the java control panel and redownload the Univiewer Console again.

You need to tick the option: “I accept the risk and want to run this application” and then Run.
