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.
