11.11.2. Run JBoss EAP 6 Within the Java Security Manager
domain.sh
or standalone.sh
scripts. The following procedure guides you through the steps of configuring your instance to run within a Java Security Manager policy.
Prerequisites
- Before you following this procedure, you need to write a security policy, using the
policytool
command which is included with your Java Development Kit (JDK). This procedure assumes that your policy is located atEAP_HOME/bin/server.policy
. As an alternative, write the security policy using any text editor and manually save it asEAP_HOME/bin/server.policy
- The domain or standalone server must be completely stopped before you edit any configuration files.
Procedure 11.36. Configure the Security Manager for JBoss EAP 6
Open the configuration file.
Open the configuration file for editing. This file is located in one of two places, depending on whether you use a managed domain or standalone server. This is not the executable file used to start the server or domain.Managed Domain
- For Linux:
EAP_HOME/bin/domain.conf
- For Windows:
EAP_HOME\bin\domain.conf.bat
Standalone Server
- For Linux:
EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.conf
- For Windows:
EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.conf.bat
Add the Java options to the file.
To ensure the Java options are used, add them to the code block that begins with:if [ "x$JAVA_OPTS" = "x" ]; then
You can modify the-Djava.security.policy
value to specify the exact location of your security policy. It should go onto one line only, with no line break. Using==
when setting the-Djava.security.policy
property specifies that the security manager will use only the specified policy file. Using=
specifies that the security manager will use the specified policy combined with the policy set in thepolicy.url
section ofJAVA_HOME/lib/security/java.security
.Important
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform releases from 6.2.2 onwards require that the system propertyjboss.modules.policy-permissions
is set to true.Example 11.32. domain.conf
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy==$PWD/server.policy -Djboss.home.dir=/path/to/EAP_HOME -Djboss.modules.policy-permissions=true"
Example 11.33. domain.conf.bat
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy==\path\to\server.policy -Djboss.home.dir=\path\to\EAP_HOME -Djboss.modules.policy-permissions=true"
Example 11.34. standalone.conf
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy==$PWD/server.policy -Djboss.home.dir=$JBOSS_HOME -Djboss.modules.policy-permissions=true"
Example 11.35. standalone.conf.bat
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy==\path\to\server.policy -Djboss.home.dir=%JBOSS_HOME% -Djboss.modules.policy-permissions=true"
Start the domain or server.
Start the domain or server as normal.
