FIGURE 5-50 Access Control Exception Error
To give the client the necessary permission, it will be necessary to add the following permission statement to the Java secu-
rity policy file on the client's host:
grant {
permission java.net.SocketPermission "licence.alliedtelesis.co.nz", "connect,resolve";
};
This statement grants Java applets permission to resolve the host name and open connections to the server (licence.alliedtele-
sis.co.nz). The client will have to be terminated and restarted before the permission change will take effect. This permission
is only needed for WebGen, so, if desired, the permission may be removed after finishing WebGen operations.
The location of the Java security policy file depends on where the Java runtime and/or the Web Start application were
installed on the host. Refer to the following table:
<Java Home> is the directory where the Java runtime was installed. On Windows, this is usually
C:\Program
Files\j2re1.4.1_01.
<Web Start Home> is the directory where the Web Start application was installed. On Windows, this is usually C:\Pro-
gram Files\Java Web Start
5.3.10 Software Configuration (Custom Loads)
The Custom load configuration is entered from the Software Configuration application using the Create Custom Load but-
ton, as shown in Figure 5-40, at the beginning of this subsection on Software Configuration. This button is device indepen-
dent and therefore enabled with or without any devices selected.
Selecting the Create Custom Loads button brings up the The Custom Device Loads Form, as shown in Figure 5-51. This
shows all the device loads. Load names and types are listed in a table, which can be sorted by clicking on a column heading.
Double clicking a column heading puts the table back in its unsorted order, which is usually with the newest loads at the bot-
tom.
Loads are groups of device configurations that can be selected when downloading software releases to devices. Loads types
are standard or custom. The standard loads are pre configured in the NMS release and can be viewed in detail but neither
modified nor deleted. Custom loads are created by users and can be added, modified, viewed, and deleted, which are the
tasks that make up this feature.
The Add button allows creating a new load. Enter a new name and description first. Then press the Add button. The details
are entered separately in the Details dialogs (after pushing the Details button). The load name has to be unique and a descrip-
tion is required. Possible error messages are:
