How do I alter Java security settings?

[znx]

Not that I can pretend to be knowledgeable on Java (because I hate it with a passion :P) but reading through some of the Sun forums it seems that you need to look in your Java install, then in jre/ext/security/ that is where the java.policy file is.

 

To find your java.policy file try:

Code:

$ locate java.policy

 

Or maybe look for the security directory:

Code:

$ locate security | grep ext

 

Hopefully you can find where to put that java.policy file.

 

Then!

 

The suggestion there was to do either grant all permissions (unsecure therefore):

Code:

grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}

 

Or just for the website:

Code:

grant codeBase "http://the.url.here" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}
