Java VM Security Manager

When Sun ONE ASP Chili!Beans is enabled, you have the option of enabling the Java virtual machine (VM) Security Manager. If the Java VM Security Manager is enabled, its default behavior is to prevent any access to system resources other than read-only access to the current directory. If the Java VM Security Manager is disabled, Java code executed by the Chili!Bean will run with unrestricted access to the file system and other system resources.

Note	For security reasons, the Java VM Security Manager should be enabled in multi-user environments in which users supply their own Java classes.

To selectively grant other privileges to Java code running in the Chili!Bean, with Java VM Security Manager enabled, use policytool to change the virtual machine’s security settings, as specified in the Java 2 Security documentation.
