26 May 2012 01:57:25,784- Thread: 35 SEVERE [com.vontu.profiles.manager.InfoSourceIndexCreator] Error during document indexing
Cause:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThread)
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThread)
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThread)

Resolution

Firstly, confirm 'protect' user has Read access to the IDM source directory.

If this seems correct, it may be a matter of a lost database connection. Try restarting all Vontu services on the Enforce server, then re-attempt indexing.

If indexing still fails a full reboot of the server should resolve the issue.
