DataFerrett

DataFerrett only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer and the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox. DataFerrett does not work with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.

Due to increased Census Bureau internet security standards, your Java Policy settings will need to be changed. The steps below describe how to make this change which is necessary to run DataFerrett:
1. Update Java to latest version from java.com
2. Go to where java is installed (usually C:/Program Files)
3. Navigate through jre1.8.0_51 > lib > security > policy > unlimited
4. Copy local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar from this folder
5. Paste these .jar files into the "limited" folder located under the "policy" folder. (you can save a copy of the existing "limited" .jar files elsewhere if you want to restore them later)
