Fwd: using Coral after installing Mac10.8

SNF Lab Members:

Maurice has discovered that he was unable to run Remote Coral after upgrading to Mac OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) without making a change to his security settings.  Here is Maurice's note including a discussion of the changes required to allow Remote Coral to run on a Mac with the latest OS.

If  you have a Mac that is running OSX 10.8, you will likely be similarly affected.

Thanks to Maurice for his good sleuthing ability ....

Have a good evening,

John

Hey guys,

I found I couldn't access coral this past weekend after installing the new version of Mac OS.  It wouldn't accept the certificate for the Coral.  After searching the web today I found the solution:


"It is new security feature in Mac OS X, by default only apps from Mac Store & from trusted developers are allowed to run there. Fortunatelly, it is easy to change, you have to allow this in Mac OS X preferences.

Go to Preferences -> Security & Privacy and click on padlock to allow changes.

Then in "Allow appications downloaded from" select "Anywhere".

After that, the button in Java dialog will be enabled."


Coral works after changing this in preferences.
