Bug ID: 65211
Summary: Posix incompatible changes in shell scripts /
Potential license violation
Product: Tomcat 9
Version: 9.0.41
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: garb...@gmx.de
Target Milestone: -----
Created attachment 37789

modified version
I wanted to inform you that what I believed to be a bug in the scripts provided
by Tomcat 9.0.41 later became clear to be caused by an undocumented
modification done by a vendor.
We use the Autopass License Server (for UFT in this case) which is provided by
Micro Focus. When installing and running this license server on Ubuntu the
included Tomcat doesn't start up properly because of errors in the provided
scripts. For example it complains about the if statements in line 281 and
following.
The vendor was contacted by us but didn't react. As far as I interpret the
section 4 of the Apache license they should have marked their changes in order
to make clear who is responsible for the negative effects. Like I mentioned
initially I thought that this version of Tomcat is incompatible with Ubuntu
20.04 and the installed dash. Shellcheck helped me find the reason and a
comparison with the original and unaltered scripts of a vanilla Tomcat made it
clear who is to blame.
The Autopass License Server (APLS) can be retrieved from
https://marketplace.microfocus.com/itom/content/autopass-license-server. The
version I had problems with is version 11.8.0
