   note: WAF users will need to update the URL to the Exception Site List by logging into the WAF and then going to: Start > Program Files > Java > Configure Java

4. On the highlighted line (see arrow # 1), type the application's URL (see Java - Compatible Versions for UW Services for a list of URLs).
5. Click the OK button (see arrow # 2).
6. When done, the Java control Panel Security tab will look like the graphic in step 2 above if one does not enter any other Exception sites.
7. After launching the application, the 'Do you trust' dialog boxes will still be displayed. To prevent this from happening each time, check the 'Always trust' boxes and click OK.
