Hi Jon- If you were connecting into tomcat on a nix box then you would more than likely run under the nobody account and you or tomcat sysadmin must grant the requisite RuntimePermission for each individual task in catalina.policy to run under the 'nobody' account
Besides the windows system account I'm not sure if there is a commensurate account available account which would at least have 1)rights to all binaries in WINDIR folder and 2)rights to all the registered components sitting in windows registry as well as 3)interrogation and or update capability to the windows registry itself anyone?
