Java 2

Code signing must also be employed to ensure the secure operation of the class and library loading services. The Mlet service allows you to load .jar files that have been signed using the jarsigner utility. The machine where the agent is running must have the signer's certificate in its keystore. Otherwise, the service will be unable to load .jar files signed by that signer. The class loader must have access to the signer's certificate, that is, the signer's certificate must be stored in the keystore on the machine on which the agent is running.

As well as jarsigner, the java.lang.SecurityManager provides the keytool and Policy Tool utilities. You can use keytool to manage your keystore and Policy Tool to create and modify the external policy configuration files that define your installation's security policy.
