15.2 Editing Files with Edit-in-Place Functionality

IMPORTANT:Due to security concerns about the NPAPI cross platform plug-in architecture, Google’s Chrome browser version 45 and later and Microsoft’s Edge browser have discontinued support for the Java browser plug-in. Because Filr’s Edit-in-Place functionality relies on the plug-in, Edit-in-Place is no longer supported in these browsers.

Novell anticipates that other browser vendors might also discontinue support for the Java browser plug-in in the near future.

If you are using a browser that still supports the NPAPI plug-in architecture, you can leverage Edit-in-Place functionality. For information on how to edit files in Filr with Edit-in-Place functionality, see Editing Files with Edit-in-Place in the Filr 2.0: Web Application User Guide.

If you are using Edit-in-Place functionality over HTTP, no additional setup is required. However, if you are using Edit-in-Place functionality over HTTPS on Windows 7, ensure that you have met the Filr server certificate requirements, as described in Section 15.1.3, Meeting Filr Certificate Requirements on Windows 7.
