JAAS-File policy not effect !

Question

I were read "the JAAS tutorial". If I use command line, all things ok ! But when I use Eclipse to compile, file policy not effect ! Do I need modify file "java.security" inside jre/lib/security" ?.
The file policy is : sampleazn.policy :
========
grant codebase "file:/C:/Documents and Settings/quoc thai/Auth/bin/sample/module/*" {
permission javax.security.auth.AuthPermission "modifyPrincipals";
grant codebase "file:/C:/Documents and Settings/quoc thai/Auth/bin/sample/*" {
permission javax.security.auth.AuthPermission "createLoginContext.Sample";
permission javax.security.auth.AuthPermission "doAsPrivileged";
grant codebase "file:/C:/Documents and Settings/quoc thai/Auth/bin/sample/*",
     Principal sample.module.SamplePrincipal "testUser" {
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.home", "read";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.home", "read";
=========
The file config :
Sample {
sample.module.SampleLoginModule required debug=true;
==========
Please help me to configure file policy !!!
Thank every one !!

Dave,
I just tried this on my test zlm server and that work the following way:
1. create a text file policy with the following parameters:
file name: /etc/login.defs
change name: modify login.defs
Change mode: Search file
Search string: ^PASS_MAX_DAYS 99999
Take care that there is a tab between the PASS.. and the number ! If you are not sure if you have just white spaces there or a tab, open it with a editor and check it. The character ^ stands for the beginning of the line, so this will match just the one line with that string. This is a normal regular expression. If you have systems with different entries you can also just enter ^PASS_MAX_DAYS and it will match all of them, then it is independent if there are tabs or white spaces there in.
Result action: Replace line
New string: PASS_MAX_DAYS 12345
The rest of the parameters can remain on the default values. Assign it and after the next refresh of the device, the policy should be applied and you should see the new valu.
