ATO Auskey Blocked By Java

When attempting to use Auskey, you may receive:

“Application Blocked By Java Security. Your security settings have blocked an application signed with an expired or not-yet valid certificate from running.”

This occurs because latter versions of Java are more restrictive. To resolve, whitelist the sites in the Java control panel, or enter the following at a command prompt:

echo https://auskey.abr.gov.au>> "%UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\exception.sites"

echo https://authentication.business.gov.au>> "%UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\exception.sites"

Then close Internet Explorer and try the site again.
