Cause

This is caused because of the java.security.policy line in the server.xml file.

Environment

Distributed

Resolving The Problem

To resolve the problem, make a backup of your server.xml file first.

Then open the file in any editor and scroll down to the bottom of the file. Look for a line / system property called java.security.policy. Remove this line. Save the server.xml file and now try to start your WAS server.
