Just updated my Mac to Oracle Java 7u51, released today, and KGS would no longer work. In case any of you run into it, I did the following...

1. You'll get a warning about an unknown publisher, certificate expired, etc. - this can be bypassed in the dialog by checking the appropriate box.
2. After that, a second box pops up with an exception, complaining that there is no permissions attribute in the manifest file (or something like that). To work around:
- Go to System Preferences and open the Java control panel
- In the Security tab, click Edit Site List... next to the Exception Site List box
- Enter http://files.gokgs.com and accept the dire warnings about pestilence, famine, etc. that will surely follow

Open preferences (Apple menu on top left, for instance) select the Java icon, go to the security settings and follow add files.gokgs.com and/or goserver.gokgs.com (first one if you use Java Web Start and the second if you use the browser version) to the exception list. Save options, and you are ready to go.

Java 7 update 51 Security affects KGS clients. (20 Jan 2014)

Summary of this issue

Improvements to security in Java may prevent some users from using the KGS client for Java Web Start and the applet client.

Solution for Web Start Client

The KGS client for Java Web Start has been repackaged to conform to the new requirements. For most users, "auto-update" will automatically retrieve the new version. With "auto-update", a user of the web start client will receive a notice that the client is slightly out of date. After the user exits the client, the new version should be automatically downloaded and updated when the client is next used. For a few users, this might not work. Those users should proceed as described below, in the "KGS Update (27 Feb. 2011)" announcement.

Solution for Applet

In order to run the applet, users will need to use the Java Control Panel to enter exceptions that allow the KGS applet to be run.

Open the Java control panel.
On Windows, the most common way is to open the Windows control panel. Then browse for the "Java" entry. It will usually have the steaming coffee cup logo.
On Mac OS X, look for "Java" under "System Preferences."
On Linux, the Java control panel is usually opened by entering a command. The command may be different depending on the Linux distribution and Java instalation. It can be accessed by running "jcontrol", a shell script in the "bin" subdirectory in the jre installation.
Click the "Security" tab.
Check the box "Enable Java content in the browser" if it is not already checked.
Click the "Edit Site List" button, and enter these two exceptions (without quotes): "http://www.gokgs.com" and "http://goserver.gokgs.com"
For each exception, use these steps:
Click the "Add" button.
Type in (or paste) the exception.
Press the "Enter" key or click on the "OK" button.
When the warning appears, click on "Continue."
Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the "Edit Site List" dialog, and then the "OK" button at the bottom of the Java control panel.
Thanks to tschan for illustrating this. However, note that the exceptions entered are different as described there, since that was written for the Web Start client.

Note: Users who found they could run CGoban by lowering Java's security level should undo this change, unless they need lower security for reasons not related to KGS.
