Forgive me if I already sent this. I thought I had, but I could not find it in my Sent or deleted items.

 

I am running Tomcat on Windows XP SP2 as a service. I would like to run Tomcat as a different user that Local System since Local System is rather over-privileged. I ran tomcat5w and set the user to a newly create user “tomcat” with, let’s say, “tomcat password” as password. I then stopped and restarted Tomcat, but it still ran as Local System. I noticed that the actual service was set to run as Local System, so I tried changing it to use the “tomcat” account also. Doing so adds the Login as Service privilege to the user. I then started it, and it appeared to start, however, when I go to a page on the Tomcat server, nothing ever loads.

 

Does anybody know what privileges or ACLs are needed to allow the service to run as non-Local System?
