Before starting Standard HyperAtlas: Standard HyperAtlas is available on-line from the Standard HyperCarte Web Application (see Figure 2.1 in All users chapter). Based on the Java technology applet, Standard HyperAtlas requires a standard Web browser and a correctly installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE) plugin. This JRE is available by default on all standard Web browsers, whatever the platform is. A version 1.6 or upper of the JRE is advised, when available for your operating system. Nevertheless, on Mac OS X 32 bits platform, the user can currently (2010) not select a more advanced version than 1.5, but Standard HyperAtlas is compatible with this version. So, please update your environment to get at least this version 1.5 of the JRE, but prefer the 1.6 when possible. For more information about your JRE, please consult the following links (last visit: 20101228): |
Before starting the application, the user is warned that the HyperAtlas Applet is about to be run without the security restrictions that are normally provided by Java.
Indeed, Standard HyperAtlas is allowed to read-write on the user's disk to load a personal .hyp file or to write an html report for example.
To overcome the default behaviour of Java Applets that are not allowed to write on the user's disk, the Standard HyperAtlas applet has been signed with a CNRS-2
standard certificate (CNRS is an acronym for Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique).
Thus, the security warning window (Figure 4.1) which is opened before the startup of the application is expected. The user can insure about the content he is about to execute by opening the details of the certificate, as shown on figures Figure 4.2 and Figure 4.3.
Figure 4.2. Security Warning: More Information
The user has clicked the More information... link on the bottom of the window Figure 4.1
Figure 4.3. Security Warning: Certificate Details
The user has clicked the Certificate details... link on the bottom of the window Figure 4.3
Once the user has clicked the Run button on the security warning popup window, the Standard HyperAtlas applet begins to load a dataset. Depending on the speed of this loading, a splash screen icon may appear a few seconds:
