<p>The Java <strong>SecurityManager</strong> is what allows a web browser
to run an applet in its own sandbox to prevent untrusted code from
accessing files on the local file system, connecting to a host other
than the one the applet was loaded from, and so on. In the same way
the SecurityManager protects you from an untrusted applet running in
your browser, use of a SecurityManager while running Tomcat can protect
your server from trojan servlets, JSPs, JSP beans, and tag libraries.
Or even inadvertent mistakes.</p>
<p>Imagine if someone who is authorized to publish JSPs on your site
inadvertently included the following in their JSP:</p>
<div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./../images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./../images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./../images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./../images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre>

<p>Every time this JSP was executed by Tomcat, Tomcat would exit.
Using the Java SecurityManager is just one more line of defense a
system administrator can use to keep the server secure and reliable.</p>
<p><strong>WARNING</strong> - A security audit
have been conducted using the Tomcat 5 codebase. Most of the critical
package have been protected and a new security package protection mechanism
has been implemented. Still, make sure that you are satisfied with your SecurityManager
configuration before allowing untrusted users to publish web applications,
JSPs, servlets, beans, or tag libraries. <strong>However, running with a
SecurityManager is definitely better than running without one.</strong></p>

<p>Tomcat utilizes a custom permission class called
<strong>org.apache.naming.JndiPermission</strong>. This permission
controls read access to JNDI named file based resources. The permission

used to do wild card matching for a JNDI named file resource when

<h3>Policy File Format</h3>
<p>The security policies implemented by the Java SecurityManager are
configured in the <code>$CATALINA_HOME/conf/catalina.policy</code> file.
This file completely replaces the <code>java.policy</code> file present
in your JDK system directories. The <code>catalina.policy</code> file
can be edited by hand, or you can use the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/tooldocs/solaris/policytool.html">policytool</a>
application that comes with Java 1.2 or later.</p>
<p>Entries in the <code>catalina.policy</code> file use the standard
<code>java.policy</code> file format, as follows:</p>

<p>The <strong>signedBy</strong> and <strong>codeBase</strong> entries are
optional when granting permissions. Comment lines begin with "//" and
end at the end of the current line. The <code>codeBase</code> is in the
form of a URL, and for a file URL can use the <code>${java.home}</code>
and <code>${catalina.home}</code> properties (which are expanded out to
the directory paths defined for them by the <code>JAVA_HOME</code> and
<code>CATALINA_HOME</code> environment variables).</p>

<p>If your web application attempts to execute an operation that is
prohibited by lack of a required Permission, it will throw an

when the SecurityManager detects the violation. Debugging the permission
that is missing can be challenging, and one option is to turn on debug
output of all security decisions that are made during execution. This
is done by setting a system property before starting Tomcat. The easiest
way to do this is via the <code>CATALINA_OPTS</code> environment variable.
Execute this command:</p>
<div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./../images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./../images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./../images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./../images/void.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre>

of output! However, it can help you track down problems by searching
for the word "FAILED" and determining which permission was being checked
