To Install a Java Jar File

The security administrator must verify that the source of the Java program is trustworthy, that the method of delivery is secure, and that the program can run in a trustworthy manner. To limit the security risk, the system administrator can download the software to a single label within the users' accreditation range, where the security administrator can test it at that label. The administrator can then downgrade the label to ADMIN_LOW, and install it on an application server to make it available to all users.

1. Assume the System Administrator role and go to an ADMIN_LOW workspace.

2. Download the Java jar file to the /tmp directory.

3. Open a File Manager to the /tmp directory.

   The Software Installation profile includes the Open action for Java code.

4. Double-click the downloaded file.

5. Answer the questions in the dialog boxes to install the software.
