How to deploy java.policy changes in IBM Notes

Question

In a recent project it was necessary to make adjustments to the java.policy of the IBM Notes Client (9.0.1). You may find the java.policy in a directory similar to:

C:\Program Files\IBM\Domino\jvm\lib\security\

I've added the following line to the main grant{}-block:

permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getenv.TIKA_CONFIG";

This adjustment must be made to all customer-clients. My question is:

How can I deploy these changes at the customers environment? Is there a IBM Domino configuration tool or something similar?

Answer 1

Short: don't. Long: the policy file will be overwritten on every install or upgrade. Create a java.pol file instead. Use LotusScript to deploy. Full instructions here: http://www.wissel.net/blog/d6plinks/SHWL-8JYAT5
