Set Java 2 security permissions

 

You must configure Java 2 security permissions to use Java Management Extension and WAS administrative methods. When you enable Java 2 security, grant Java 2 security permissions to application-specific code for JMX and WebSphere Application Server administrative privileges. With these permissions, your application code can call WAS administrative methods and JMX methods.

 

Overview

If you are using Java 2 security then verify that your extensions and appserver can access the required resources. The following steps show how to configure access for JMX and the appserver administrative methods.

 

Procedure

• Use the following permission to invoke all the JMX class methods and interface methods:

  permission javax.management.MBeanPermission "*", "*";
  

  Consult the JMX API documentation for specific actions under the MBeanPermission class.

• Use the following permission for WAS administrative APIs:

  permission com.ibm.websphere.security.WebSphereRuntimePermission "AdminPermission";
