Hi all,
I managed to upgrade my Fedora-based PKI system to Release 31, which is
not yet ready for production (as I think I found).
Now, after the upgrade, I can enjoy server error 500 messages once the
web server middleware gets busy:
https://...de:8443/pki/ui/
results in
HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error
Type Exception Report
Message org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
Beschreibung The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from
fulfilling the request.
Exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile
class for JSP
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWrapper.java:604)
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:422)
I can, of course, provide full stacktraces and configuration details.
Configuration is mostly unmodified, but the whole system has been going
through some upgrades since its first setup.
From the automatically created debug log, I gather that this:
2019-09-23 20:56:41 [https-jsse-nio-8443-exec-9] SEVERE:
Servlet.service() for servlet [jsp] in context with path [/pki] threw exception
[org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP] with root cause
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
("java.util.PropertyPermission"
"tolerateIllegalAmbiguousVarargsInvocation" "read")
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:472)

at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:549)
at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPropertyAccess(SecurityManager.java:1294)
...
is probably the reason for the failure.
Status of the server, at a first glance, looks ok to me:

There's no other PKI instance in place, and I'm not sufficiently skilled
with dogtag to actually do much with the configuration anyway, so I kept
my fingers off if as far as I could :-)
Is this a known problem, is there a reasonably simple fix, or is it time
to load my latest backup?
Thanks,
Arno
