| 17 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 18 | .B policyeditor
|
|---|
| 19 | is a GUI application with small command line support to view and edit applet security policy settings
|
|---|
| 20 | used by the icedtea-web implementation of
|
|---|
| 21 | .B javaws
|
|---|
| 22 | and the browser plugin. It is intended as a simpler, easier to use, and more
|
|---|
| 23 | accessible alternative to the standard JDK Policy Tool. Administrators and
|
|---|
| 24 | power users who need fine grained control over policy files should probably
|
|---|
| 25 | use Policy Tool instead of PolicyEditor.
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | If executed without any arguments, no file is opened, and saving the file will
|
|---|
| 28 | result in a prompt on where to save it. Otherwise, if a file path is given as
|
|---|
| 29 | a command line argument, then that file path will be opened and parsed as a
|
|---|
| 30 | policy file.

| 33 | .SH OPTIONS
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | .TP
|
|---|
| 36 | -help
|
|---|
| 37 | Prints a short help text and exits.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | .TP
|
|---|
| 40 | -file policy_file
|
|---|
| 41 | Specifies a policy file path to open. If exactly one argument is given, and it
|
|---|
| 42 | is not this flag, it is interpreted as a file path to open, as if this flag
|
|---|
| 43 | was given first. This flag exists mostly for compatibility with Policy Tool,
|
|---|
| 44 | but is also needed when opening a policy file and also using the -codebase flag.
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | .TP
|
|---|
| 47 | -codebase url
|
|---|
| 48 | Specifies an applet codebase URL. If the specified codebase already exists in
|
|---|
| 49 | the policy file (if any), then it will be selected when the editor opens. If
|
|---|
| 50 | it is a new codebase then it will be added and selected. Multiple URLs may also
|
|---|
| 51 | be given with a single -codebase flag by separating them with spaces. In this
|
|---|
| 52 | case, the last codebase given will be selected, and all will be added. If this
|
|---|
| 53 | flag is given more than once, only the first is used.
