Jar Hash Object

The HTTP proxy can be set up to filter the Java applets based on the hash value of the Jar file. Each Jar hash object has a value part. This value is a 32-character hex MD5 hash value. It is used to verify the integrity of Java archives (JARs) which are allowed through the SunScreen HTTP proxy.

A Jar hash object is one of the data objects that define a SunScreen configuration. You can manipulate it through the configuration editor or the administration GUI. A Jar hash object is automatically saved when it is edited or a new Jar hash object is added. The change is saved immediately and is not repealed if the edit session is aborted. The Save button in the administration GUI remains greyed out, indicating that no Save is necessary due to such changes.

Jar hash objects are named, and their name space is distinct from all others within SunScreen. The name of a Jar hash object is entirely ephemeral. It is not referenced in any other context by SunScreen. The name consists of 1 to 255 characters, not including the following characters:

! # $ % ^ & * { } [ ] < > " \ ? ` / @ NULL
