I want to configure the `hudson.model.DirectoryBrowserSupport.CSP` property so that it’s set by default every time Jenkins starts. I tried doing this by adding the `JAVA_ARGS` entry in the `/etc/default/jenkins` file, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

JAVA\_ARGS=“-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhudson.model.DirectoryBrowserSupport.CSP="default-src ‘self’ ‘unsafe-inline’ ‘unsafe-eval’; img-src data:;"”

When Jenkins is installed from the apt, yum, or dnf Linux package managers, it does not use `/etc/default/jenkins`. Jenkins switched to systemd in March 2022 as announced in the [changelog](https://www.jenkins.io/changelog/2.332.1/) and as documented in [“Managing Systemd Services”](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/system-administration/systemd-services/)

Refer to those instructions that will guide you to configure command line arguments.
