Description

Adding the following options in the start.ini:

--exec
-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\krb5.conf
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\cas_jaas.conf

Causes the java jre to be spawned with the following command line args:

"-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\Program\ Files\Apache\ Software\ Foundation\Tomcat\ 5.5\cas_jaas.conf"
"-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\Program\ Files\Apache\ Software\ Foundation\Tomcat\ 5.5\krb5.conf"

(notice the extra escaping slashes which probably work fine under unix, but messes up windows)

JAAS fails to work with the options specified above.

If I move the files to a folder without spaces and change the start.ini then it works fine, eg:
-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\jaas\krb5.conf
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\jaas\cas_jaas.conf

out of curiosity, what happens if you use this syntax in the start.ini?

-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/krb5.conf
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/cas_jaas.conf

or you quote the start.ini sections?

"-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\krb5.conf"
"-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\cas_jaas.conf"

Hi Joakim,

Using the forward slash syntax:
-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/krb5.conf

Results in this:
"-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:/Program\ Files/Apache\ Software\ Foundation/Tomcat\ 5.5/krb5.conf"

If I quote the start.ini sections (they were not quoted before) then it excludes them in the spawned java jre command line.

It's funny, because the -Djetty.home parameter in the spawned java jre contains spaces in the command line:
(although it's not specified in the start.ini)

"-Djetty.home=C:\Program Files\Jetty\jetty-distribution-8.1.1.v20120215"

There must be some magic processing in the start.jar that is unix specific that's getting applied when it shouldn't..

Actually, it's not unix specific, its Runtime.exec() specific.
The arguments for it must be properly quoted/escaped for it to work.

Wish I could flag bugs on jira as 'valid' or 'confirmed'

Note: jdk1.6.0_17 was used to launch start.jar
