Runaware Troubleshooting Guide


Errors:

Evaluation stuck in "Applet starting"
Evaluation fails with java.security.AccessControlException
Evaluation launch hangs at "Testing connection"



Symptom: Evaluation stuck in "Applet starting"

Description:
The evaluation proceeds to the point where a large or full-screen window opens up with a progress bar in the top center of the window. After this, nothing more happens except that the progress bar is slowly increasing.

Probable cause:
This problem is usually due to the Java applet used for the evaluation not being granted the necessary permissions to load and run.
When the large evaluation window is opened, you will normally be presented with a 'Security Warning' window resembling the one in the image to the right asking you if you want to install and run a "Citrix Java client". Runaware's service will not work if you answered no to this question.

If you did answer 'No', the only way of making our service work is to restart your browser. To do this it is usually enough to close all browser windows, start it again and then reconnect to the site you tried to use our service from. This time make sure to answer 'Yes' to the security warning.

Symptom:
  Evaluation fails with java.security.AccessControlException


Description:
The evaluation is aborted and an error message dialog like the one below is shown.
Security
exception error message

Probable cause for this error:

This error is basically the same as 'Evaluation stuck in Applet starting' but this one only occurs when Sun's Java runtime is used. The cause is either that the applet wasn't given the necessary permissions OR that your browsers' security settings are set too high.
Shortly after the large evaluation window opens, you should have been prompted with a security warning resembling the image to the right. Runaware's service cannot work unless you answer yes to installing the applet signed by Citrix Systems, Inc.

If you never got this question, it means that your browsers' security level is set too high.

Symptom: Evaluation launch hangs at "Testing Connection"

Description:
Just after clicking the evaluation link, a window pops up with the text "Testing connection
to application server" in it. After this, nothing more happens.

Probable cause for this error:
This is typically due to the browser security level being set too high.
Try either resetting the security level OR add "runaware.com" as a trusted site.
