ERROR Could not register mbeans java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("javax.management.MBeanTrustPermission" "register")

Question

When starting for example Elasticsearch 5.5 : main ERROR Could not register mbeans java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("javax.management.MBeanTrustPermission" "register")

Answer 1

Workaround with Oracle Java 1.8.0_131 is to open file <jre>/lib/security/java.policy and add this line to grant section (i.e. between curly brackets):

permission javax.management.MBeanTrustPermission "register";

Why workaround? The upright solution would be to specify extra grant section which code exactly should get this permission.

Answer 2

got the same error and the answer is here java.security.AccessControlException when using Ant, but runs ok when invoking java from console

Append the grant section in java.policy file with permission javax.management.MBeanTrustPermission "register";
