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

       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.
