Bug ID: 58287
Summary: Questionable use of "Global" objects on Windows
Product: Tomcat Connectors
Version: 1.2.41
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Common
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In common/jk_shm.c and in iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c we create objects in the
Windows "Global" name space. Those are used as names for mutexes and for shared
memory. Creating global objects needs the privilege SeCreateGlobalPrivilege. It
did not work for me when using a Windows binary of mod_jk inside httpd not
running as a service. I has to add "run as administator" to the binary although
the user already was in the administrator group.
I question the use of the global namespace. I can't see, why local should not
be enough plus local would make conflicts between multiple instances less
likely.
Do we see any reasons, why using Local\ insted of Global\ should not work (and
even be better)? Especially for IIS I don't know enough about the various
operating models.
