The Tomcat Windows distibution has an executable named tomcat5w.exe in the bin directory. Double click the executable, click the Java tab, and add the following to the Java Options field: -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=C:\path\to\tomcat\conf\catalina.policy

Hi, That's fine, but where do I add these when I am not running Catalina.bat? Or are you saying that tomcat.exe is just calling catalina.bat?

Thanks to Bill Barker who supplied me with this advice a couple of weeks ago... Actually, what you need to do is to add to the Java Options section: -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy==C:\path\to\tomcat\conf\catalina.policy If you look in catalina.bat, you will see that this is what the script is actually doing when you run it with the '-security' option.

You're going from OpenVMS to Windows?!?!? WHY? Why go from the most secure system on the planet to the most exposed? Just wondering? jd Sr. Systems Engineer OpenVMS Alpha Support Team (813) 366-2359 "OpenVMS: When downtime is not an option" -----Original Message----- From: Andoni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 2:36 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: How to use -security when running as a service under Windows. Hello, I am currently running Tomcat under OpenVMS by calling catalina.bat with the -security switch to allow it to connect to several RMI servers. Now that I am moving this app. to windows I want to be able to call the same switch from my service-driven installation of Tomcat 4.1. Unfortunately when I go to the properties of the service itself everything is greyed out so that I cannot add any switches. Also the program it is running is /bin/tomcat.exe. What can I do to get this to run with -security option? Thanks in advance, Andoni. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
