MIDP Security tab
The MIDP Security tab is used for adjusting MIDlet runtime security sandbox on the emulator. The tab has two main options:
Run MIDlets within security domain specified by their certificates (default)
Selects security environment according to the real domain and provided certificates.
Run MIDlets within the following domain
Lets the user specify the desired domain from the list or specify available function permissions manually in more detail (with user defined “domain”). The defined domains are:
Manufacturer
Operator
Trusted Third Party
Untrusted
User Defined.
Domains are predefined sets of function permission mappings. The domain User defined is the only domain that allows permission changing. When User defined domain is chosen, permission cells become editable. By clicking the Permissions cell, the selectable permission list becomes visible and the user can define permissions for each function.

For detailed information about the security domains and their use, see the document Recommended Security Policy for GSM/UMTS Compliant Devices, an addendum to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) version 2.0 for the Java™ 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME™) specification.
