accessClassInPackage.org.apache.catalina.realm permission

2002-10-29 Thread Renato

Hi all,

( sorry to post here... in users list nobody answered )

One of my users is asking for the following permission in his context

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission 
accessClassInPackage.org.apache.catalina.realm) 

He is using the securityfilter.jar library

I'm using Tomcat 4.1.12 with SecurityManager. 

Is is safe to grant this permission ? 

Thanks
Renato

it is never safe to grant access to an internal catalina permission. You 
need to (1) trust your users and then (2) add the following to your 
tomcat.policy:


grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/{you user webapp name}/- {

};

This will only grant his webapp to accessClassInPackage. But be aware 
that you *are* possibly opening a  security hole. At you own risk ;-)
