Modifying the server.policy File

The Application Server enforces a set of default security policies that, unless modified, would prevent the HTTP tunnel servlet from accepting connections from the Message Queue broker.

Each application server instance has a file that contains its security policies, or rules. For example, the location of this file for the server1 instance on Solaris is:

/var/opt/SUNWappserver8/domains/domain1/server1/config/
server.policy

To configure the tunnel servlet to accept connections from the Message Queue broker, an additional entry is required in this file.

To Modify the Application Server’s server.policy File

1. Open the server.policy file.

2. Add the following entry:

   grant codeBase "file:/var/opt/SUNWappserver8/domains/domain1/server1/ applications/j2ee-modules/imqhttp_1/-” { permission java.net.SocketPermission "*", “connect,accept,resolve"; };
