Dear All

I am trying to run sample application that accomanies JAAS. I am getting following exception -

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: java.security.
AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission java.securit
y.auth.debug read)

Please let me know if I am missing anything. Any help is appreciated

I have resolved this problem. THe problem was in Policy file. The [path] tag that was supposed to hv been replaced with the actual path, needs to use Forward slashes "/" instead of OS specific since it is URL. Once I changed path to using forward slashes, it works fine. I wish the exception thrown could have been more meaningful like could not Locate Policy file or something in relevant to actual problem.

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot!
