## Granting Programmatic Login Permission

The `ProgrammaticLoginPermission` permission is required to invoke the programmatic login mechanism for an application. This permission is not granted by default to deployed applications because this is not a standard J2EE mechanism.

To grant the required permission to the application, add the following to the domain-dir`/config/``server.policy` file:

    grant codeBase "file:jar-file-path" {
         permission com.sun.appserv.security.ProgrammaticLoginPermission
         "login";
     };

The jar-file-path is the path to the application’s JAR file.

For more information about the `server.policy` file, see The server.policy File
