About the directory

The <fortify.home> directory is where the configuration file and other Application Security resources reside.

After Application Security deployment, you can find <fortify.home> in the following locations:

  • On Windows systems: %USERPROFILE%\.fortify

    Applies to both a standard user and a Windows service user.

    %USERPROFILE% represents the user running the Tomcat service, which is not necessarily the user who installed Tomcat.

    Named Account = C:\Users\<username>
    LocalSystem [Default] = %WinDir%\System32\config\systemprofile
    LocalService = %WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService
    NetworkService = %WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService

  • On Linux systems: $HOME/.fortify
