Description Josef Cacek 2014-04-23 06:35:35 UTC

In 6.2. Write a Java Security Manager Policy in Basic Information in definition of Principals element configuration there is "If it is omitted, it signifies "any principals"." - I understand this expression in way that in executing thread must be at least one "any" Principal. I think that this should be better and  understandable "If it is omitted, it means Principals of executing thread have no impact on the Java Security Manager".

Also in "Basic Information" should be mentioned that definitions are connected to policytool - because some of them are incorrect for pure text Security Policy File.

Comment 1 Josef Cacek 2014-04-23 06:49:40 UTC

Don't change the "Basic Information" paragraph. The one provided now is OK. (i.e. discard the second paragraph from comment#1)

Update also the Permissions description. Remove sentence 
"This document only covers additional permissions which are provided by JBoss EAP 6."
We don't list the EAP 6 permissions in the Security guide.

Comment 2 Josef Cacek 2014-04-23 08:25:55 UTC

The Revision 6.3.0-12 already includes the changes, so the remaining points are:

1) revert "Basic Information" to:
"A security policy's entry consists of the following configuration elements:"

2) remove sentence 
"This document only covers additional permissions which are provided by JBoss EAP 6." from Permissions definition

Comment 5 Josef Cacek 2014-09-23 08:25:17 UTC

Verified in SG Revision 6.3.0-45.
