Hi, I am running tomcat 8.0.15, win64 ZIP, on Windows 2008R2, Oracle JRE 8.0.20.
Running with "catalina start", /manager app works perfectly. Running "catalina start -security" will result in not deployed manager app. I would *definitely need* both: running Tomcat with Security Manager turned on, and manager application. (I would like to enable "non-trusted" people to deploy their applications to my server via manager app) Any idea what to do? Thank you in advance!
