Configuring a security manager under Windows with Tomcat 5.5

[Ignacio Iborra <na...@bibvirtual.bimicesa.ua.es>]

Hello.

I've been reading the jakarta documentation about how to set a Security
Manager in Tomcat 5.5 under Windows, in order to apply the permissions in
catalina.policy file.

The Jakarta documentation page says that I must start the server with the
command:

%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina start -security

But Tomcat 5.5 under Windows does NOT have command-line executables, but a
Tomcat Monitor. So the question is... how can I set the security manager
through this monitor? I've tried to access the "Configure" panel, and in the
"Startup" tab, modify the "Arguments" field in this way:

start -security

But Tomcat says that -security is not a valid argument.

So how can I set the security manager?
Thanks in advance.

In Tomcat monitor, go to the "Java" tab and add the following two lines to 
the "Java Options" field:

-Djava.security.manager
-Djava.security.policy==<absolute path to Tomcat dir>\conf\catalina.policy

(replacing <absolute path to Tomcat dir> with the actual path, of course)
