policyeditor(1) General Commands Manual policyeditor(1) NAME policyeditor - view and modify security policy settings for javaws and the browser plugin SYNOPSIS policyeditor policyeditor [-file] policy_file 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 policy file. OPTIONS -codebase url Specifies an applet codebase URL. This can be used with the other selector options to select a policy entry upon open- ing the editor; if no such identifier exists then it will be created and then selected.(Exactly one argument ex- pected) -defaultfile Specifies that the default user-level policy file should be opened. This is the file which is normally used by IcedTea- Web to make decisions about custom policies and permissions for applets at runtime, unless configured otherwise.(No ar- gument expected) -file policy_file Specifies a policy file path to open. If exactly one argu- ment 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.(Exactly one argument expected) -help Prints out information about supported command and basic usage.(No argument expected) -principals class_name principal_name Specifies class name/principal name pairs (space-separated) for the policy entry identifier. This can be used with the other selector options to select a policy entry upon open- ing the editor; if no such identifier exists then it will be created and then selected.(Expected even number of argu- ments with param=value as valid argument) -signedby certificate_alias Specifies a certificate alias for a certificate stored in the keystore. This can be used with the other selector op- tions to select a policy entry upon opening the editor; if no such identifier exists then it will be created and then selected.(Exactly one argument expected) -verbose Enable verbose output.(No argument expected) EXAMPLES policyeditor Show the GUI editor with no file opened. policyeditor -file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icedtea-web/security/java.policy Show GUI and opens the default policy file. FILES $XDG_CACHE_HOME/icedtea-web/cache/recently_used Additional information about items in cache $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icedtea-web/security/java.policy Contains granted permissions for selected unsigned apps. Controlled by deployment.user.security.policy Where $XDG_CONFIG_DIR, $XDG_CACHE_DIR and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are set as ~/.config, ~/.cache and /tmp or /var/tmp if not set. BUGS There aren't any known bugs. If you come across one, please file it at: http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web#Filing_bugs http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla Please run in debug (-verbose switch or itw-settings setting or ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG variable set to true) mode and include that output (best is from java console) with URL to jnlp or html file (or the jnlp/html file or application itself) when filing out the bug report.
