I'm currently on the one day tutorial of the Eclipse Scout Framework, and I'm stuck at exactly this part. I don't think that my question is Tutorial-specific, which is why I'm asking my question here: Suddenly, when I try to open a menu in my scout localhost environment; I get an "access denied" message in my browser, and the java console gives back the following log:

To me it seems that there's a Content Security Policy issue somewhere, but no clue if that's the case, and if so how to fix that, even after researching the issue for quite some time now.
Help?
Are you running some kind of ad-blocker or privacy plugin in your browser? This would explain the reported CSP error. By default, the CSP rules block inline JavaScript code (e.g. <script>...</script>). Scout itself does not use inline code. It is therefore likely that a browser plugin has injected code into the page. The reported "source-file" ("moz-extension") also hints to that.
The access denied error is probably not caused by the CSP rules. According to the log file, the click was successfully dispatched to the corresponding Menu instance on the UI server. That code calls a backend service (IPersonService) over the service tunnel, which fails with an exception. There are a lot of things that could have gone wrong here:
scout.auth.privateKey and scout.auth.publicKey. If necessary, use the SecurityUtility to create a new pair.RemoteServiceAccessPermission is required. And for most services, a specific permission is required, e.g. ReadPersonPermission.To analyze these kinds of errors, first check the logs of both the UI server and the backend server. If this does not help, set some breakpoints and step through the code. Here are some classes that make a good starting point: ServerServletFilter, ServiceTunnelServlet, AccessControlService.
