2.3. Write a Java Security Policy

Procedure 2.1. Setup a new Java Security Manager Policy

1. Start policytool.

   Start the policytool tool in one of the following ways.

   • Red Hat Enterprise Linux

     From your GUI or a command prompt, run /usr/bin/policytool.

   • Microsoft Windows Server

     Run policytool.exe from your Start menu or from the bin\ of your Java installation. The location can vary.

2. Create a policy.

   To create a policy, select Add Policy Entry. Add the parameters you need, then click Done.

   Note

   Use VFS to specify paths for applications deployed on JBoss EAP. On Linux the path is: vfs:/content/application.war. On Microsoft Windows it is: vfs:/${user.dir}/content/application.war .

   For example:

   grant codeBase "vfs:/content/application.war/-" {
   permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read";
   };
   

3. Edit an existing policy

   Select the policy from the list of existing policies, and select the Edit Policy Entry button. Edit the parameters as needed.

4. Delete an existing policy.

   Select the policy from the list of existing policies, and select the Remove Policy Entry button.
