Trying to understand Tomcat Working Directory / Security

other Performance Management
1

Hi,

I have successfully implemented dashboard/menu security in AF 6.5.1 but am stuggling with some odd behavior. Within Supervisor, I am applying the security at the user group level and not at the user level. Some users within the group are not affected by the security restrictions placed on the group.

These users were added to the group after the initial group/users were created and couple of weeks back.

Reading other similar BOB posts, they reference the need to either re-boot the server/re-start the processes and clear out the Tomcat working directory.

Since we do a fair amount of custom dev work within the Tomcat directory, I am relunctant to clear out the entire directory. I am curious if there is specific sub-folder or set of files that I can delete vs the entire directory that would do the trick.

Thanks in advance for your feedback/help.

Gary,

The Tomcat working directory is the cache. If you delete all contents, tomcat will create it again when you navigate thru the pages.
YOU CAN DELETE THEM, if you have customized you should put all pages into the webapps folder.
If you prefer, rename it, restart tomcat and check.

Hope it helps
