java.policy file permissions

Java 2 security uses several policy files to determine the granted permission for each Java program.

See Java 2 security policy files for the list of available policy files that are supported by WebSphere® Application Server.

For IBM Technology for Java, the java.policy file is located in the java_home/jre/lib/security directory. For all JVMs, the java.policy file is used system-wide. Do not edit the java.policy file on the server.

Use the showVariables command of the AdminTask object to retrieve java_home for the node associated with the server's profile. For example, if the node is myNode:
  1. Enter QShell.
  2. cd to profile_root/bin.
  3. Invoke wsadmin -conntype NONE -c '$AdminTask showVariables {-scope Node=myNode -variableName JAVA_HOME}'.
