Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-66939 JRE8-WN-000010 SV-81429r4_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. The deployment.config file can be created in either of the following locations: <Windows Directory>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config - or - <JRE Installation Directory>\lib\deployment.config
