Class CapiPermission

java.lang.Object

java.security.Permission

java.security.BasicPermission

com.entrust.toolkit.permissions.CapiPermission

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.security.Guard

public final class CapiPermission
extends java.security.BasicPermission

A CapiPermission is required when reading or writing information from CAPI. It is used to protect access to Capi from applications that require access to this resource.

When used as an application, the default implementation of the JVM does not specify a SecurityManager instance, which effectively allows all permissions. However, when used in other contexts such as an applet, a SecurityManager is likely to exist. For such environments, this permission must be enabled if access to CAPI is required. This can be done by updating the java.policy file with one of the following

 grant {
    permission com.entrust.toolkit.permissions.CapiPermission "CapiPermission";
 }

 or simply
 
 grant {
    permission com.entrust.toolkit.permissions.CapiPermission;
 } 
 

Alternatively, this permission may be granted by enabling java.security.AllPermission.
