title: Reducing java security settings
body: <p>I have an applet I am trying to run from localhost. However, I just updated the java client and now java blocks the applet from running because it is self-signed. This is apparently a new security update to Java 7 Update 51. I have found the <a href="http://www.java.com/en/download/help/jcp_security.xml" rel="nofollow">following article</a> talking about how to reduce security levels. However, the article only mentions how to change security levels in Windows/OS X. Does anyone know how I can change the security levels in Linux so that I can run my applet on my linux box?</p>
