I’m working with the Apache ActiveMQ messaging server, which is written in Java. I want to work with the SNMP features of the JVM. I made the necessary changes to the command line parameters, but I kept getting an error message referring to the .acl file: "Error: Password file read access must be restricted". I researched it and learned only the owner of the .acl file should have read access to it. If the JVM was running on a Unix/Linux/OSX server, I would have known how to solve my problem – CHMOD. But I’m running on Windows XP Pro and there is no CHMOD. I right clicked the file, chose "properties" and fooled around with the Security tab. But I still got that error. After some research, I found the answer on Sun’s web site here. Note that this solution isn’t specific to ActiveMQ or Java.
