    Description

      Due to security concerns (fixed in JWS-538), when changing the user in tomcat7.conf and tomcat8.conf, Tomcat is unable to start. Due to JWS-538, this is not a regression of JWS-85 and JWS-192; however, it is inconsistent with RHEL 7 (JWS-666) behavior.

      For now, I am disabling our test (JWS192.groovy in noe-tests) until a decision is made about what approach is taken for this issue.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
