You can enable a new version of TLS with Java 7 in several different ways:

• For each application, enter this command:

  java ... -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2 ...

• Using JAVA_OPTS, enter the following command in your .profile, shell rc (to affect all Java programs run by the user), or conductor.sh (to just affect Datameer):

  export JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2"

• Using global Java options for Windows users, edit the Java Options in the Control Panel
• Using global Java options for Mac, use these options.
