Hi everyone,
I've tried to use openjdk 6 and the corresponding icedtea Firefox plugin
as a replacement for sun-java-6 on Ubuntu 11.10 for accessing BCEE's
S-NET site. I get the infamous message: "exception:
java.security.AccessControlException : access denied" and the applet
does not start. In the same situation, during the first access to the
site, the old sun java plugin ran a popup asking whether the user would
grant permission to execute the applet and updated its config
accordingly. This is apparently missing in icedtea's (or openjdk's?)
setup.
Of course, I can make it work by writing a ~/.java.policy with
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
but the security implications are severe, to say the least.
Any advice?
Thanks
Alain
