Set JAAS Config File in Tomcat7

[Thangavel Loganathan]

Hi Techies,

I am implementing JAAS with Tomcat7, I want set JAVA_OPTS=$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.security.auth.login.config==$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jaas.config.

Normally we can set this entry in catalina.bat file in Tomcat6 and other older version. I am struggling to set in Tomcat7 because this doesn't contains any bat file inside the bin directory.

Please help me on this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

In Tomcat6 you could create a TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setenv.sh (or, for Windows, setenv.bat) and assign your JAVA_OPTS values there. I recommend this because it keeps you from having to modify the Tomcat control scripts.

I haven't checked lately, but I am fairly sure that this can still be done in Tomcat 7.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your reply, I can create sh or bat file inside the bin folder, fine. How to configure that bat or sh file will be get called when the server starts up?

Please suggest me.

Thanks,

The Tomcat startup should be testing to see if it is present and if it is, it will execute it automatically. Not only at startup, but also at shutdown.

If Tomcat is setup using a Windows Service, the .BAT/.CMD files will not be called. To setup the parameters in a Windows service just run the .EXE Tomcat7w.exe found in the /bin directory. You will see a panel that allows you to add -D properties (and adjust memory and other common settings).
