Author SecurityManager Question
J. Horn

2004-12-01, 8:58 pm

I have an application that creates and uses a SecurityManager to
protect against potentially hostile client behavior. If at some point
during execution, the application decides it is not working with
hostile clients, I want to disable/remove the SecurityManager.

How do I destroy or disable the SecurityManager object?

Also, what is the active SecurityManager's containing class?

Thanks,
John

As long as you have RuntimePermission("setSecurityManager") on the existing
SecurityManager, you should be able to change the security manager to
different security manager programatically.

Thanks,
