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 opening the editor; if no such
identifier exists then it will be created and then selected.(Exactly one
argument expected)
-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 argument expected)
-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.(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 opening the editor; if no such identifier exists then it
will be created and then selected.(Expected even number of arguments 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 options 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
