 Does anyone know if something has changed in the most recent Java 8 JRE release in regards to the deployment.security.use.user.home.java.policy deployment.properties parameter? We have it set to true as we have a workstation that requires some specific grant permissions that we bounce off of the .java.policy file in %USERPROFILE% from the workstation and even though the parameter shows up as true in the dump of deployment properties from the console it doesn't seem to be detecting/utilizing the .java.policy file in the user's profile.

It worked fine in JRE 1.8_05 but this 1.8_11 seems to be causing issues. For context the newest JRE 7 update 65 works fine as well. I don't mind sticking with 1.8_05 since it's not a high demand machine but I was curious if anyone had any ideas or issues with this.

For context of what the %USERPROFILE% java.policy contains:
code:
grant {
permission javax.sound.sampled.AudioPermission "record";
permission java.net.SocketPermission "www.DOMAIN.com:80","connect,resolve";
};
