2.5. IBM JDK and the Java Security Manager

Some versions of the IBM JDK use a default policy provider which does not work correctly with a JBoss EAP security policy. If you are having problems using an IBM JDK to host JBoss EAP with the Java Security Manager enabled, you must change the JRE configuration to use the standard policy provider.

To modify the JRE configuration for the IBM JDK, edit the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security file, and set the policy.provider value to sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.

policy.provider=sun.security.provider.PolicyFile
