Java™ 2 security

Java™ 2 security provides a policy-based access control mechanism that checks for permission before allowing an application access to certain protected system resources, such as file I/O, sockets, and environment properties.

Java™ 2 security is supported by the application server. It is disabled by default but is enabled automatically when you configure WebSphere® security to enable global security. Although Java™ 2 security is enabled when you enable WebSphere® global security, you can disable it. You can configure Java™ 2 security and global security independently of each other. Disabling global security does not disable Java™ 2 security automatically. You need to explicitly disable it.

HATS supports Java™ 2 security when running on WebSphere® Application Server on any supported server software platform. For more on HATS supported server software, see "System Requirements for Host Access Transformation Services" at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/320035.
