Description

Ubuntu's default tomcat installation comes with a strict security policy. See /etc/tomcatX.X/policy.d/ for details.

Currently, the recommendation is to turn off the security manager which is, apparently, not a very good idea for a live site.



****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

The cosmo calendar server, from the OSAF Chandler Project, provides a basic security policy script which can be copied to the policy.d directory. Perhaps this could be used as a template?

See here: http://chandlerproject.org/Documentation/CosmoTomcat#Security for their suggestion.
