Java Policy File

To tighten the security of the ".java.policy" file required by Campus Manager
within the home directory / folder of the Administrative user, follow these steps:

For Windows users:

Run Windows Explorer
Go to My Computer, Local Disk, Program Files, Java, j2re1.4.X, bin
Run the "policytool"
This tool will come up editing your ".java.policy" file in Documents & Settings
Select the policy entry within the lower work window
Click "Edit Policy Entry"
>From within the Policy Entry dialog add the following to the CodeBase field:
"http://YOUR-CM-BOX-NAME:8080/campusMgr/applets/lib/-"
Click Done within the Policy Entry dialog
File Save from within the Policy Tool main view
Click OK on the success dialog
File Exit the Policy Tool

Apple / Linux users with your favorite editor edit the .java.policy file in your
home directory adding the codeBase tag as follows:

grant codeBase "http://YOUR-CM-BOX-NAME:8080/campusMgr/applets/lib/-" {
rest of the file contents as it exists
};

This policy entry instructs the browser to allow these permissions from
only your cm box on port 8080 from Java code within the campusMgr
applets lib directory. The "-" at the end is a wild card for all files
contained within the specified directory tree.
