SYNOPSIS

11       policyeditor
12       policyeditor [-file] policy_file
13

DESCRIPTION

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

30       -codebase url
31                   Specifies an applet codebase URL. This can be used with the
32                   other selector options to select a policy entry upon  open‐
33                   ing  the  editor; if no such identifier exists then it will
34                   be created and  then  selected.(Exactly  one  argument  ex‐
35                   pected)
36
37       -defaultfile
38                   Specifies that the default user-level policy file should be
39                   opened. This is the file which is normally used by IcedTea-
40                   Web to make decisions about custom policies and permissions
41                   for applets at runtime, unless configured otherwise.(No ar‐
42                   gument expected)
43
44       -file policy_file
45                   Specifies  a policy file path to open. If exactly one argu‐
46                   ment is given, and it is not this flag, it  is  interpreted
47                   as  a  file  path to open, as if this flag was given first.
48                   This flag  exists  mostly  for  compatibility  with  Policy
49                   Tool.(Exactly one argument expected)
50
51       -help       Prints  out  information  about supported command and basic
52                   usage.(No argument expected)
53
54       -principals class_name principal_name
55                   Specifies class name/principal name pairs (space-separated)
56                   for  the policy entry identifier. This can be used with the
57                   other selector options to select a policy entry upon  open‐
58                   ing  the  editor; if no such identifier exists then it will
59                   be created and then selected.(Expected even number of argu‐
60                   ments with param=value as valid argument)
61
62       -signedby certificate_alias
63                   Specifies  a  certificate alias for a certificate stored in
64                   the keystore. This can be used with the other selector  op‐
65                   tions  to select a policy entry upon opening the editor; if
66                   no such identifier exists then it will be created and  then
67                   selected.(Exactly one argument expected)
68
69       -verbose    Enable verbose output.(No argument expected)
