Subject: Tomcat 5.0.28 installed under LINUX - access to file system limited to
tomcat user
> Hello
>
> I have an installation of tomcat version 5.0.28 where tomcat runs under a
> user tomact on LINUX.
> My jsp application should read files from a directory. Read access to
> directory and files is limited to group "sdf" and file owner "asd":
> drwxrws--- 17 asd sdf data that contains the file
> -rwxrwx--- asd sdf input.txt
> The directory is owned by a different user than tomcat. However, user tomcat
> is a member of the group ("sdf" in the example) that owns the target
> directory. At LINUX level as user tomcat I have access to the file. For
> security reasons I cannot give read access to everybody.
> With this set up of user rights my application cannot access the file. If I
> create a group "tomcat" and if I change owner and/or group of the directory
> and file to tomcat then the read access works.
> Is this an error in my jsp application or could I configure tomcat that it
> would also read files without being the owner of files or the group?
