To change the RWP user account on Linux and UNIX systems

On a Linux and UNIX systems, RWP initially runs as root to obtain access to the required ports. It then changes its identity to that of a user with minimal privileges. The name and group of this user vary from platform to platform (for example, on Solaris it is typically nobody.nobody and on HP-UX it is www.other). To change this account on Linux and UNIX systems:
  1. Edit the User and Group lines in httpd.conf. The following entries configure RWP to run as the user rwpuser.other: User rwpuser Group other.
  2. If you need to change the specified username, add the su command line (see below) in the RWP startup script rwp_startup (located in the RWP bin directory). Change the specified user (the first parameter to the su command) to match the account you used in the previous step. Add su rwpuser –c username before ./startServer server1 command
  3. Stop and restart RWP.
