Hmmm.... I don't know. Even without the security manager running the CGI program isn't allowed to open a socket connection. To my understanding the security manager just adds protection and doesn't allow you to do more things then normally would be allowed.

If you are not running with a Security Manager, then it's a permission/group OS setting. --Jeanfrancois Joao Machado wrote: >Hi all, > > I'm trying to execute a CGI script and this Script tries to connect >with a database opening a socket to it.
