RMISecurityManager
The SecurityManager class contains many methods with
names that begin with the word check. These methods
are called by various methods in the Java libraries before those
methods perform certain potentially sensitive operations. The
invocation of such a check method typically looks like this:
SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();
if (security != null) {
security.checkXXX(argument, . . . );
}
The security manager is thereby given an opportunity to prevent
completion of the operation by throwing an exception. A security
manager routine simply returns if the operation is permitted, but
throws a SecurityException if the operation is not
permitted.
Setting a Security Manager
Environments using a security manager will typically set the security manager at startup. In the JDK implementation, this is done by setting the system propertyjava.security.manager on the command line
to the class name of the security manager. It can also be set to the empty
String ("") or the special token "default" to use the
default java.lang.SecurityManager. If a class name is specified,
it must be java.lang.SecurityManager or a public subclass and have
a public no-arg constructor. The class is loaded by the
built-in system class loader
if it is not java.lang.SecurityManager. If the
java.security.manager system property is not set, the default value
is null, which means a security manager will not be set at startup.
The Java run-time may also allow, but is not required to allow, the security
manager to be set dynamically by invoking the
setSecurityManager method.
In the JDK implementation, if the Java virtual machine is started with
the java.security.manager system property set to the special token
"allow", then a security manager will not be set at startup but can
be set dynamically. If the Java virtual machine is started with the
java.security.manager system property not set or set to the special
token "disallow", then a security manager will not be set at startup
and cannot be set dynamically (the
setSecurityManager
method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException). Finally, if the
java.security.manager system property is set to the class name of
the security manager, or to the empty String ("") or the special token
"default", then a security manager is set at startup (as described
previously) and can also be subsequently replaced (or disabled) dynamically
(subject to the policy of the currently installed security manager). The
following table illustrates the behavior of the JDK implementation for the
different settings of the java.security.manager system property:
| Property Value | The SecurityManager set at startup | System.setSecurityManager run-time behavior |
|---|---|---|
| null | None | Throws UnsupportedOperationException |
| empty String ("") | java.lang.SecurityManager |
Success or throws SecurityException if not permitted by
the currently installed security manager |
| "default" | java.lang.SecurityManager |
Success or throws SecurityException if not permitted by
the currently installed security manager |
| "disallow" | None | Throws UnsupportedOperationException |
| "allow" | None | Success or throws SecurityException if not permitted by
the currently installed security manager |
| a class name | the named class | Success or throws SecurityException if not permitted by
the currently installed security manager |
The current security manager is returned by the
getSecurityManager method.
Checking Permissions
The special methodcheckPermission(java.security.Permission)
determines whether an access request indicated by a specified
permission should be granted or denied. The
default implementation calls
AccessController.checkPermission(perm);
If a requested access is allowed,
checkPermission returns quietly. If denied, a
SecurityException is thrown.
The default implementation of each of the other
check methods in SecurityManager is to
call the SecurityManager checkPermission method
to determine if the calling thread has permission to perform the requested
operation.
Note that the checkPermission method with
just a single permission argument always performs security checks
within the context of the currently executing thread.
Sometimes a security check that should be made within a given context
will actually need to be done from within a
different context (for example, from within a worker thread).
The getSecurityContext method
and the checkPermission
method that includes a context argument are provided
for this situation. The
getSecurityContext method returns a "snapshot"
of the current calling context. (The default implementation
returns an AccessControlContext object.) A sample call is
the following:
Object context = null; SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager(); if (sm != null) context = sm.getSecurityContext();
The checkPermission method
that takes a context object in addition to a permission
makes access decisions based on that context,
rather than on that of the current execution thread.
Code within a different context can thus call that method,
passing the permission and the
previously-saved context object. A sample call, using the
SecurityManager sm obtained as in the previous example,
is the following:
if (sm != null) sm.checkPermission(permission, context);
Permissions fall into these categories: File, Socket, Net,
Security, Runtime, Property, AWT, Reflect, and Serializable.
The classes managing these various
permission categories are java.io.FilePermission,
java.net.SocketPermission,
java.net.NetPermission,
java.security.SecurityPermission,
java.lang.RuntimePermission,
java.util.PropertyPermission,
java.awt.AWTPermission,
java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission, and
java.io.SerializablePermission.
All but the first two (FilePermission and SocketPermission) are
subclasses of java.security.BasicPermission, which itself
is an abstract subclass of the
top-level class for permissions, which is
java.security.Permission. BasicPermission defines the
functionality needed for all permissions that contain a name
that follows the hierarchical property naming convention
(for example, "exitVM", "setFactory", "queuePrintJob", etc).
An asterisk
may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to
signify a wildcard match. For example: "a.*" or "*" is valid,
"*a" or "a*b" is not valid.
FilePermission and SocketPermission are subclasses of the
top-level class for permissions
(java.security.Permission). Classes like these
that have a more complicated name syntax than that used by
BasicPermission subclass directly from Permission rather than from
BasicPermission. For example,
for a java.io.FilePermission object, the permission name is
the path name of a file (or directory).
Some of the permission classes have an "actions" list that tells
the actions that are permitted for the object. For example,
for a java.io.FilePermission object, the actions list
(such as "read, write") specifies which actions are granted for the
specified file (or for files in the specified directory).
Other permission classes are for "named" permissions - ones that contain a name but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.
Note: There is also a java.security.AllPermission
permission that implies all permissions. It exists to simplify the work
of system administrators who might need to perform multiple
tasks that require all (or numerous) permissions.
See Permissions in the Java Development Kit (JDK)
for permission-related information.
This document includes a table listing the various SecurityManager
check methods and the permission(s) the default
implementation of each such method requires.
It also contains a table of the methods
that require permissions, and for each such method tells
which permission it requires.

SecurityManager
public SecurityManager()Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Constructs a newSecurityManager.If there is a security manager already installed, this method first calls the security manager's
checkPermissionmethod with theRuntimePermission("createSecurityManager")permission to ensure the calling thread has permission to create a new security manager. This may result in throwing aSecurityException.- Throws:
SecurityException- if a security manager already exists and itscheckPermissionmethod doesn't allow creation of a new security manager.- See Also:

getClassContext
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Returns the current execution stack as an array of classes.The length of the array is the number of methods on the execution stack. The element at index
0is the class of the currently executing method, the element at index1is the class of that method's caller, and so on.- Returns:
- the execution stack.
-
getSecurityContext
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Creates an object that encapsulates the current execution environment. The result of this method is used, for example, by the three-argumentcheckConnectmethod and by the two-argumentcheckReadmethod. These methods are needed because a trusted method may be called on to read a file or open a socket on behalf of another method. The trusted method needs to determine if the other (possibly untrusted) method would be allowed to perform the operation on its own.The default implementation of this method is to return an
AccessControlContextobject.- Returns:
- an implementation-dependent object that encapsulates sufficient information about the current execution environment to perform some security checks later.

package.definitionSecurity Property. An implementation may also check the package against an additional list of restricted packages as noted below. If the package is restricted,checkPermission(Permission)is called with aRuntimePermission("defineClassInPackage."+pkg)permission.If this method is overridden, then
super.checkPackageDefinitionshould be called as the first line in the overridden method.- Implementation Note:
- This implementation also restricts all non-exported packages of modules loaded by the platform class loader or its ancestors. A "non-exported package" refers to a package that is not exported to all modules. Specifically, it refers to a package that either is not exported at all by its containing module or is exported in a qualified fashion by its containing module.
- Parameters:
pkg- the package name.- Throws:
SecurityException- if the calling thread does not have permission to define classes in the specified package.NullPointerException- if the package name argument isnull.- See Also:
