You don't do it that way ;-). By the time you start the Java virtual machine (JVM) that runs Tomcat, that JVM must *already* be running as the user you want to use for Tomcat. If you're running Tomcat as a service, then commons-daemon (procrun, renamed to tomcat6w.exe, as Chuck points out in another thread) does exactly this. It's a C program that wraps up the launch and management of the JVM. It makes sure that the JVM is launched as whatever user is required. If you're starting the JVM yourself, then you must make sure yourself that whatever you use to launch Tomcat runs it as the correct user. This may be as simple as logging in as that user and running a batch file. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
