Error "JORB0011: An I/O error occurred while constructing ClientStyleProperties from the properties URL" when security is enabled
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
Error message "JORB0011: An I/O error occurred while constructing ClientStyleProperties from the properties URL." appears in WebSphere® Application Server's stdout file during startup after configuring the Application Server to run as non-root and global security is enabled

After configuring an Application Server to run as non-root and WebSphere Application Server global security is enabled, starting the Application Server results in a message similar to the following appearing in the Application Server's stdout file:

[01.11.15 11:06:36:150 CST] ae78ae60 ORBRas A 2001.11.15 11:06:36.037 com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ClientStyleProperties loadPropertiesFile IBM WebSphere ORB JORB0011: An I/O error occurred while constructing ClientStyleProperties from the properties URL. URL=file:<WAS root>/properties/sas.server.props. Processing continues using the default property values.
 
Cause
When WebSphere Application Server global security is enabled, the Application Server reads and writes to the install_root/properties/sas.server.props file. If the non-root (or non-administrator) ID used to start the Application Server does not have permission to read and write the sas.server.props, a message similar to the following appears in the Application Server's stdout file:

[01.11.15 11:06:36:150 CST] ae78ae60 ORBRas A 2001.11.15 11:06:36.037 com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ClientStyleProperties loadPropertiesFile IBM WebSphere ORB JORB0011: An I/O error occurred while constructing ClientStyleProperties from the properties URL. URL=file:<WAS root>/properties/sas.server.props. Processing continues using the default property values.

 
Solution
Change the permissions on the install_root/properties/sas.server.props so that it is readable and writable by the non-root user that owns the Application Server process.
