[Lvlug] Re: java and mysql permissions

[Deep Kapadia]

Can this person send you the Security Error that he is getting?

Usually you need to set java security policies for the client to run
java code. And these policies need to be agreed upon by the client.

Applets have a very strict security model since they rarely run on a
server, they are designed to be run on client machines.

So, even if this person is trying to run an applet on the box hosting
the MySql server, he will not be able to do so since the current
security policy of the Java virtual machine on the box does not permit
him to connect/resolve/accept connections through an applet.

He should be more specific with what kind of permissions he needs.
Running the command he sent you will work but is a security risk since
it will set the JVM parameters for the box he is using to be able to
access the MySql database but will also give any other applet running
on the same box All Permissions.
