# Troubleshooting Security

If you want to monitor security access, you can set the `java.security.debug` System property. To see a list of all debugging options, use the `help` setting:

    java -Djava.security.debug=help

Note:

- Separate multiple options with a comma.

- For more information, on debugging utilities please visit JSSE Reference Guide.

The following table lists `java.security.debug` options and links to further information about each option:

Option | Description | Further Information
--- | --- | ---
`all` | Turn on all debugging |
`access` | Print all results from the `AccessController.checkPermission` method. You can use the following options with the `access` option: `stack`: Include stack trace `domain`: Dump all domains in context `failure`: Before throwing exception, dump stack and domain that do not have permission You can use the following options with the `stack` and `domain` options: `permission=<classname>`: Only dump output if specified permission is being checked `codebase=<URL>`: Only dump output if specified codebase is being checked | Permissions
`certpath` | Turns on debugging for the PKIX `CertPathValidator` and `CertPathBuilder` implementations. You can use the `ocsp` option with the certpath option for OCSP protocol tracing. A hexadecimal dump of the OCSP request and response bytes is displayed. | Java PKI Programmer's Guide
