Trouble accessing your Netscaler ADC after updating java? Here is the simple fix.

I recently had some issues logging into our netscaler appliances after a java update and decided to fix the issue instead of rolling back Java (frankly I am weary of Java and hope that Citrix wakes up and makes the admin HTML5 and ditches Java completely)

 

The fix I used was found in the JAVA control panel applet.java security

Simply add the sites to the exception list (use the management IP, and make sure to manage using HTTPS. ) under the security tab.

 

Hopefully the next upgrade will not require any new steps.

On a related note, i have been using a single browser (Google Chrome) to manage my netscaler appliances and i have not run across any issues that required another browser.
