I'm having trouble getting RMI security policies working. I have a .policy file on both the server and client, each of which is running a SecurityManager.
When I try and run the client its failing. My policy file grants everything atm. Heres the content:
grant { permission java.security.AllPermission };
I have the file client.policy in the root directory of my JAR file (I tried running it with the policy file outside the jar too). Then I run the client with this:
java -jar PagePlanner.jar -Djava.security.policy=client.policy -Djava.rmi.codebase=http://192.168.0.88:2077/home/me/NetbeansProjects/PageServer/dist/PageServer.jar -Djava.security.debug=access
Specifying my policy file and the path to my code base. I'm not sure if either of these are correct. I also tried setting the debug switch as I read somewhere it should give me extra info about whats going wrong, but it does not seem to make a difference.Heres the output when I run the client:
Exception in thread "main" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.awt.AWTPermission setWindowAlwaysOnTop)
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:323)
at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:546)
at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:532)
at java.awt.Window.setAlwaysOnTop(Window.java:2038)
at gui.LoginForm.<init>(LoginForm.java:59)
at main.Main.main(Main.java:21)
From which point the client just hangs. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? The policy setup on the server-side is pretty much the same. I can post the details if that helps.
Cheers.
