Access the file manager on webmin

Today, when I try to open the file manager on my webmin page, it shows me the error that your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.

I updated the java but I am getting the same error.

Please help me to find the solution.

Thanks.

Due to a change of the Java Runtime version 7u51 on loading the file manager an error displays, that the application is blocked by security settings. This can be avoided by adding the address of the Webmin to the Exception Site List in Java Control Panel.

Please proceed as follows:

Open the Java Control Panel in Systems|Java. Select the tab "Security". Click the "Edit Site List..." button. Click the "Add" button in the "Exception Site List" dialog. Enter the address of Webmin, e.g. „http://licensecentral.company.local:10000“. Click the "OK" button. Click the "Continue" button to accept the security warning. Click the "OK" button to close "Java Control Panel".
