This is a long and tedious process, if you want to do it right.  And it would require an 
in-depth knowledge of the application, which nobody else but you has.


Basically, the Security Manager provides a kind of sandbox around the applications, 
German-like : everything which is not specifically allowed, is forbidden.
So you have to know what all the various permissions are, and then know what your 
application requires specifically.
There are examples at the end of the standard catalina.policy file, and I'm sure that by 
googling a bit on the names which you see there, you'll find what you need.


Of course, a shortcut would be :

grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/yourapp/- { (*)
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

but then one could wonder why bothering to use a Security Manager at all..

(*) yourapp here being ROOT

Sounds like your host provider is prescribing the security constraints
and you want to replicate that to see what adjustments need to be made
to the app and/or the policy file.  Why not grab the policy file on your
target host and start with that?

Yes, in catalina.policy.  Have fun.

Thanks for the reply.

Afraid I'm very new to Tomcat - please could you explain to me what changes 
I need to make to catalina.policy?


Thanks,

It's can be tricky and it's application specific.

You'll need to add specific policy rules that permit the application to
do whatever it needs to do.  E.g. access to network, file system, jars etc.

Is there a particular reason you want to enable the Security Manager?
Are you hosting untrusted 3rd party applications for example?

Re: Problem running my webapp with Tomcat 7.0.22.0 Security Manager enabled (Windows Vista)

 Hiya,

 I've just turned on Tomcat's Security Manager and (not surprisingly) I'm now 
 having a problem running my webapp. I know I probably need to specify some 
 security privileges somewhere,

Have you read the docs?

 but not sure where - possibly catalina.policy?

That file is not used by Tomcat but by Java runtime. So whether it is
used depends on what command was used to launch the JVM.

The catalina.bat/catalina.sh files use conf/catalina.policy by default.

If you use something else then you are on your own to configure it properly.


 Can anyone help??
