Enable application security
Enables security for the applications in the environment. This type of security provides application isolation and requirements for authenticating application users
In previous releases of WAS, when a user enabled global security, both administrative and application security were enabled. In WAS Version 6.1, the previous notion of global security is split into administrative security and application security, each of which you can enable separately.
As a result of this split, WAS clients must know whether application security is disabled at the target server. Administrative security is enabled, by default. Application security is disabled, by default.
To enable application security, enable administrative security. Application security is in effect only when administrative security is enabled.
Default: Disabled
Use Java 2 security to restrict application access to local resources
Whether to enable or disable Java 2 security permission checking. By default, access to local resources is not restricted. We can choose to disable Java 2 security, even when application security is enabled.
When the Use Java 2 security to restrict application access to local resources option is enabled and if an application requires more Java 2 security permissions than are granted in the default policy, the application might fail to run properly until the required permissions are granted in either the app.policy file or the was.policy file of the application. AccessControl exceptions are generated by applications that do not have all the required permissions. See the related links for more information about Java 2 security.
Default: Disabled
