  • In Safari version 6-8, launching SSL Network Extender fails with 'failed to download', or 'Safari blocks Java plugin' error.

  • Other Mobile Access Blade portal components, such as ESOD, SWS, etc... fails to work correctly.

  • In some scenarios, launching the SSL Network Extender is stuck at 'Initializing' stage without any errors.

In Safari 6.1 (Mac OS X Mountain Lion - 10.8.5) / Safari 7 (Mac OS X 10.9 - Mavericks), Safari 8 ( Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.x and MAC OS X 10.12) Apple introduced a sandboxing mechanism. The sandboxing blocks some core functionality of Java, and as a result SSL Network Extender and other portal components fail to launch. In MAC OS 10.12 the browser feature 'unsafe mode' is not available.
