I was also facing this issue, but had to jump some more hurdles:

- In the Java Control Panel, add https://<server IP/hostname> to the exception site list. (not related to this issue, but needs to be done though)

- In the Advanced tab (this is on windows) enable the console, so I could check what java version was being used. (I have 5 versions installed)

- Edit the mentioned java.security for the correct version, but, I had to make an additional change. I also had to alter the "jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms" parameter, and remove MD5 there. Hence, enable MD5 support.

- Sidenote: For "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms" the "DH keySize < 768" can stay disabled, yet "SSLv3, RC4, MD5withRSA" have to be enabled (so removed from the parameter)

- In chrome, make sure to re-download the .jnlp file. Might even have to restart the browser.

Thanks CreatedThisJustToSay for figuring this out...
