After I allowed the applet from your example page your site appeared there in the list. On my MacBook (OS X Mavericks; Java &,67, first time installation) 'UNKNOWN' was replaced with the proper names in the dialogs for your Site.
There was an extra dialog from Safari, asking for permission that the page 'http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/cub2jvxl/' can take control of the Jmol applet. I have never seen this before on Firefox or Chrome. I also got the same question for our own Jmol-based viewer (http://jena3d.fli-leibniz.de) using Jmol 14.0.5. But in contrast to your site I had to put our site first manually into the list under 'Settings->Security' until it was even tried to run Jmol. So it seems that at least in Safari it has become even more scary for a user to run a Java applet despite using a properly signed applet.
