This post is quite similar to the Debugging D2 4.5/4.6 previously posted, explaining how to set up D2 without lockbox, but much more simple due to the missing lockbox.

Extract all files from D2/D2-Config to a local folder in your computer, configure a new (tomcat) server in Eclipse, and configure the following parameters:

• JVM arguments:
  • -Djava.io.tmpdir=”<absolute path to some temp folder>\d2″ (make sure this folder exists)
  • -Djava.security.policy=file:///<absolute path to java.policy file> (the documentation states to change java.policy in your JRE, but I rather use this cleaner solution: create a local java.policy file with a single line:

    grant { permission com.documentum.fc.client.impl.bof.security.RolePermission “*”, “propagate”;}; and reference it with the java.security.policy parameter)

  • Additional memory/custom parameters

Now, start the server, take note of the dfc.keystore id, mark it as approved privilege client in DA and you are good to go.
