Security Policy File

Hi,

I want to write security policy for my JMX MBeanServer and for other MBean related things. I wrote the code for granting permission in java.policy file.

But I am not sure how much this policy file is reliable? If there is any possiblity that someone makes changes in this file, then the whole idea of securing MBeanServer and MBeans will be collapsed. Is there any way to protect this file? I was thinking of signing it. Is it proper way or there are other ways also?

Thank You.

I'm afraid you will have to rely on the file system protection provided by

the operating system and set the file's access rights accordingly.

If you don't want to use at all a file then you could write your own Policy

provider and read your policy configuration from a different data source.

Regards,

Luis
