java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to locate a login configuration

Question

Hi
I am using Bonita5.2 and the Tomcat6.0.19 I exported the application(which gives a war file and some config file and libraries) and deployed in the tomcat. When I run the application, after the login page, I get the error

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception
java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to locate a login configuration
    com.sun.security.auth.login.ConfigFile.(Unknown Source)
    sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)
    sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source)

    java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Unknown Source)
         .
         .
         .
         .

Before starting tomcat I run a bat file with the following content:

set BONITA_OPTS="-Dorg.ow2.bonita.environment=d:\Tomcat6.0\conf\bonita-environment.xml"
set LOG_OPTS="-Djava.util.logging.config.file=d:\Tomcat6.0\conf\logging.properties"
set SECURITY_OPTS="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=d:\Tomcat6.0\conf\jaas-standard.cfg"
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOG_OPTS% %SECURITY_OPTS% %BONITA_OPTS%

I guess this error is because the jaas config file is not found. But I am sure about the paths I have mentioned.

What else could be that I am missing to configure for jaas?

Thanks

Hi,
I have resolve this problem. I needed to put the jaas cnfig file path in the file

JAVA_HOME\jre6\lib\security\java.security 

Thanks

Specifying the jaas config file like so on the command line would work also:

-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:/Apps/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/conf/jaas.config
