Yeah, this. The amount of pure rage inside my department directed at Java because of their boneheaded security stuff is enough to power a small city.
Okay, so open up the management interface for my SAN. Yes, I want to allow Java to run. Yes, I know it's not signed. No, I don't care.
Okay, now I have to go add the domain to an obscure control panel because a freakin' popup is too much to ask.
Now I go reload the page, yes I want to run the plugin, no I don't care that it's unsigned, yes I know that this may hose my computer, yes* i want to load the damned applet already.
Combine that with the fact that the Java web plugin sandbox and all this security appears to be trivially bypassed, and I wish they'd screw off with the multiple confirmation prompts and let me just control it with the browser.
* The number of times I've cared about the code signing status of any application in the last decade can be counted on one hand.
