IESO Java policy file and Windows XP. Participant Workstation, Network & Security IESO Java policy file and Windows XP IESO Java Policy File 1 A special IESO Java policy file with the file name ".java.policy" (note the dot at the beginning of the filename) is required for successful IESO PKI and MPI processing on the workstation when using Internet Explorer as the browser for the MPI. This is a simple text-format file available from the IESO Technical Interfaces page. It must be installed in each user's "C:\Documents and Settings\userID" (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\smithj) directory on the workstation where userID represents the login ID for the user. This is a small file with the content: grant { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; Without this file with the above content in the correct location for each user the MPI applet PKI code will not function correctly when attempting to locate the PKI certificates and login. Under such circumstances an "applet not inited" error on the browser status line at the bottom may display and/or a dialogue box with an error message "Login failed: access denied (java.security.SecurityPermission removeProvider.IAIK)". 2 To download the file from the Technical Interfaces page the user can right mouse button click on the file's POL link on the web-site and choose to save to the required location as show in Figure 2-7. This will activate the typical Windows "Save As" window to allow the user to choose the directory location to save the file to. Figure 2-7: Right Mouse Button 'Save Target as ..." Function to Download Java Policy File 3 The file type 'policy' is not a normal registered file type and this is not required for successful download of the IESO '.java.policy' file. To download the file, the user must choose the 'Save as type' option "All Files" and choose the appropriate C:\Documents and Settings\userID directory path. The file name must not be changed. See Figure 2-8. Once this has been done login to the MPI with IE should be successful. Version 0.2 1 IESO Java policy file and Windows XP. Participant Workstation, Network & Security Figure 2-8: File type Selection to Download Java Policy File 4 However prior or after download, Windows 2000 and XP users (or administrators) may create a 'policy' document file type, extension to make the purpose of the file more explicit. To do so, after opening Windows Explorer (or any window), select the 'Tools' menu, then 'Folder Options…' and then the 'File Types' tab selection. See Figure 2-9 for the resultant window. Figure 2-9: Folder Options, File Types Listing window Version 0.2 2 IESO Java policy file and Windows XP. Participant Workstation, Network & Security 5 Click in the 'New' button to activate the 'Create New Extension' window as shown in Figure 2-10 and type in 'POLICY' in the file extension field and leave the Associated File Type as <New>. Click on the OK button. Figure 2-10: Create New Extension Window 6 The Folder Options window will now typically indicate some details for the 'POLICY' extension and that files of the 'POLICY" extension are of type FT000001, (or FT000002 and so on if other customized file extensions have been created previously, Windows creates the numbered file types automatically). See Figure 2-11 for an example. Figure 2-11: Folder Option Window with Detail on 'POLICY' extension shown. Version 0.2 3 IESO Java policy file and Windows XP. Participant Workstation, Network & Security Click on the 'Advanced' button in order to activate the 'Edit File Type' window as shown in Figure 2-12 Figure 2-12: Edit File Type Extension Window Replace the 'FT00001 entry (or FT000002..FT000003 etc.), with the term 'Java Policy File" for ease of identification of the file type and them click on the 'OK' button. Ensure that the correct file type for the 'POLICY' extension is being changed and not some other file type. Correct file extension editing will let the user see that the '.java.policy' file is of the 'Java Policy File' type in folder windows. Version 0.2 4
