General Description:
====================
Upgrading to Java 8 Service Refresh 5 Fix pack 15 because of multiple Java vulnerabilities.

Note:
For HP-UX-IA64 Java 8.0.5.10 version is shipped.


Details:
========
This Limited Availability Interim Fix contains JRE fix for multiple vulnerabilities.

Refer link for details :- http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22016741



Prerequisites:
==============
Security Directory Integrator v7.2.0 with or without any fix pack must be installed.
Tivoli Directory Integrator v7.1.1 with or without any fix pack must be installed.


Platforms:
==========
All supported Platforms


Downloading the Fix:
====================
- Under the Download options section, Click on the "Change Download options" link.
- Set the "Include prerequisites and co-requisite fixes (you can select the ones you need later)" checkbox to true.



Applying the Fix:
=================
- Shutdown SDI.

- Unzip the fix package to a temporary directory. The LA contains platform specific JRE's, copy the .zip or the .tar.gz to respective platforms.

- Extract the .zip /.tar.gz files into temp directory.

- Backup/rename the existing <SDI_Install_Dir\jvm\jre directory.

- Copy the <temp directory>\<extracted_jvm_dir>\jre directory and content as a sub-directory to the <SDI_Install_Dir>\jvm directory.

- Apply command 'chmod -R 755 jre' for non windows platform.


Changes to the Java policy file for Derby server to start
================================================
- Derby server does not start as the new JVM does not grant permissions by default.

- Resolve by using either option:

* To give all permissions to all files in the SDI install dir, add the following in the <SDI_Install_dir>\jvm\jre\lib\security\java.policy

// Standard extensions get all permissions by default
grant codeBase "file:/<SDI_Install_dir>/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Note : The ending minus, "-", in the path. It means that all files in all folders, recursively, under the SDI install dir will be given this permission.

* To give permission to derby port to listen, add the following line in the <SDI_Install_dir>\jvm\jre\lib\security\java.policy , under the default permissions granted to all domains section.

// allows anyone to listen on un-privileged ports
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:<port number>-", "listen";

For example : permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1527-", "listen";
Note: 1527 is the derby port in this example.
