NAME¶
policyeditor - view and modify security policy settings for
javaws and
the browser plugin
SYNOPSIS¶
policyeditor
policyeditor [-file] policy_file
[-codebase] url
DESCRIPTION¶
policyeditor is a GUI application with small command line support to view
and edit applet security policy settings used by the icedtea-web
implementation of
javaws and the browser plugin. It is intended as a
simpler, easier to use, and more accessible alternative to the standard JDK
Policy Tool. Administrators and power users who need fine grained control over
policy files should probably use Policy Tool instead of PolicyEditor.
If executed without any arguments, no file is opened, and saving the file will
result in a prompt on where to save it. Otherwise, if a file path is given as
a command line argument, then that file path will be opened and parsed as a
policy file.
OPTIONS¶
- -help
- Prints a short help text and exits.
- -file policy_file
- Specifies a policy file path to open. If exactly one argument is given,
and it is not this flag, it is interpreted as a file path to open, as if
this flag was given first. This flag exists mostly for compatibility with
Policy Tool, but is also needed when opening a policy file and also using
the -codebase flag.
- -codebase url
- Specifies an applet codebase URL. If the specified codebase already exists
in the policy file (if any), then it will be selected when the editor
opens. If it is a new codebase then it will be added and selected.
Multiple URLs may also be given with a single -codebase flag by separating
them with spaces. In this case, the last codebase given will be selected,
and all will be added. If this flag is given more than once, only the
first is used.
EXAMPLES¶
- policyeditor
- Show the GUI editor
- policyeditor -file $HOME/.config/icedtea-web/security/java.policy
- Opens the default user-level policy file location
FILES¶
$HOME/.config/icedtea-web/security/java.policy the default user-level policy
file location
