Java applets are blocked in IBM FileNet IDM Open Client when launched in Chrome with NPAPI disabled

Question & Answer


Question

The ability to launch and display Open Client Java applets (also known as plug-ins) in a Chrome browser depends on the presence of the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI). As of Chrome 42, NPAPI is disabled by default. Therefore, web applications which use Java applets will have reduced functionality unless NPAPI is manually re-enabled
