In addition to my second post above I finally got the Ignition client to launch. Only 20 minutes after I clicked on it. The hangup occurs before the Ignition loading screen appears and right after the “Java 7…” loading screen goes away. Sits in that limbo state for about 15-20 minutes. Then once it starts to load the client the speed is back to normal.
In the java console there are 2 lines in the beginning (after CacheEntry) that say “Missing Permissions manifest attribute for: http…launchclient.jar” and “Missing Codebase manifest attribute for: http…launchclient.jar”. And then there are 2 more lines immediately after that are repeats of these lines. After that it is “Starting Bootstrap Loader v2.0” , etc. Everything in the console loaded quickly. The hang up was before the console even launched.
Not sure if this will help at all.
Thanks,
