Mac users on OS X Lion (version 10.7.x) and OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8.x) received a security update from Apple in October 2012. This update (Java for OS X 2012-006) uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers.
The purpose of this update was to resolve security vulnerabilities in an earlier version of Java. Users can fix this by downloading the latest version of Java from Oracle's website.
Without Java, Open Mobile clients will not be able to connect to a VPN. Users who have a VPN configured and who have not already done so should navigate to Oracle's website to download the latest version of Java: http://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp.
Users who have installed this security update and have not installed the latest version of Java will have the following experience:
After the user installs the latest version of Java from Oracle, the VPN works as expected. We have found no other issues in our testing.
