Steps to Reproduce

Unzip.

Try to access Glassfish Admin Panel.

Resolution

For Liferay Portal 6.1GA3, setting the following properties will resolve the issue:

portal.security.manager.strategy=none

For Liferay Portal 6.2.x, the following should resolve the issue:

Edit glassfish-3.1.2.2\domains\domain1\config\server.policy and DELETE default content: grant { permission java.security.AllPermission; };
Start Glassfish and go to admin console:http://localhost:4848/.>The console should now appear.
