please follow the install instructions at:

This error message means that the Debian/Ubuntu devs have denied
access to System.getProperties().

Please see our FAQ entry "I want to use Tomcat's security manager, how
do I install the bridge?" at

You have probably picked the wrong Linux distribution. You won't get
such error messages in Red Hat Enterprise- or Fedora Linux.

It is a good idea to avoid debian packages. Debian maintainers apply
patches without knowing what they do. The debian-patched tomcat runs
as user root, with dropped privileges, so that user.home is not
accessible. Other such examples are the debian PHP suoshin "patch" and
the debian OpenSSL "patch", see
