How to restrict Java Web Start to run only a set of known .jnlp files?

Is there a way to restrict the .jnlp files Web Start is allowed to load to a known set of URLs?

Company policy prohibits users to install any software and Java Web Start has been flagged because it allows users to "install" and run applications via .jnlp files.

Solution

  • Setup a firewall and then you (or administrator) can restrict all urls ending jnlp and allow only a limited set.
