The non-root user can receive
permissions for files and directories so that the non-root user can create
a profile.
Before you begin
This task assumes a basic familiarity with the manageprofiles command,
the Profile Management tool, and system commands.
Remember: An
ease-of-use limitation exists for non-root users who create profiles. Mechanisms
within the Profile Management tool that suggest
unique names and port values are disabled for non-root users. The non-root
user must change the default field values in the Profile Management tool for
the profile name, node name, cell
name, and port assignments. Consider assigning non-root users a range
of values for each of the fields. You can assign responsibility to the non-root
users for adhering to their assigned value ranges and for maintaining the
integrity of their own definitions.
About this task
Non-root users might typically need these tasks completed so that
they can start their own application servers in development environments.
For instance, an application developer might test an application on a application
server in a profile assigned to that application developer.
Procedure
Results
Depending on the tasks
that the installer followed, the installer has completed the following actions:
- Created a profile
for a non-root user and assigned ownership of the profile directory to the
non-root user
- Granted permission
to the appropriate directories so that non-root users can create profiles
- After installing maintenance, changed ownership of new profile files in
a directory that is owned by a non-root user, so that the non-root user can
successfully start the application server
What to do next
Depending
on the tasks that the installer completes, a non-root user can create a profile,
start WebSphere Application Server, or do both.
