Oracle JRE 8 must have a deployment.config file present.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-66939 JRE8-WN-000010 SV-81429r2_rule Medium
Description
By default no deployment.config file exists; thus, no system-wide deployment.properties file exists. The file must be created. The deployment.config file is used for specifying the location and execution of system-level properties for the Java Runtime Environment. Without the deployment.config file, setting particular options for the Java control panel is impossible.
