Error description
For WebSphere Application Server Liberty, in some instances there is an AccessControlException issued for a permission that had been granted in the application's permissions.xml file. For example, for the following AccessControlException, java.security.AccessControlException: Access denied ("javax.security.auth.AuthPermission" "wssecurity.getRunAsSubject") at java.security.AccessController.throwACE(AccessController.jav a:125) at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessControl ler.java:198) at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.ja va:563) at com.ibm.websphere.security.auth.WSSubject.getRunAsSubject(WS Subject.java:397) at web.RunAsServlet.performTask(RunAsServlet.java:39) at web.BaseServlet.handleRequest(BaseServlet.java:79) at web.BaseServlet.doGet(BaseServlet.java:49) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:575) at web.BaseServlet.service(BaseServlet.java:43) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:668) the permission javax.security.auth.AuthPermission was already defined in the permissions.xml file, but the exception was still issued.

Problem conclusion
The code was modified to prevent an AccessControlException from being issued when it was already granted to the application.
