Greetings. I am trying to create a category, only accessible by 2 groups and each group having their own forum.

I failed at the first step through. After creating the category, and the 2 forums, I restricted the General group's access to that category, as well as the 2 forums in question, however after that an anonymous user was still able to access those 2 forums. (Even after a tomcat restart)

I also tried to click the button for "Set Users' Role to follow the Group" to see if that would make things work, and I'm getting a TargetInvocationException on that submit.

Am I missing something obvious, or is there something more here?

JForum 2.0.2 has some bugs related to security cache eviction and "Set users' roles to follow the group". You did the right steps, configuring access options for each group. For the anonymous user, try setting the permissions for "Anonymous" too, in addiction for the group. Then restart Tomcat (note: you only have to restart tomcat because you're changing anonymous' permissions. This is a bug in 2.0.2 and is already fixed in the development version).
