7.5.1 Non-root Installation of the Metadirectory Server
You can install Identity Manager as a non-
root
user to enhance the security of your UNIX/Linux
server. You cannot install Identity Manager as a non-
root
user if eDirectory is installed by
root
.
The non-
root
installation does not install the following items:
Remote Loader: Use the Java Remote Loader if you need to install the Remote Loader as a non-
root
user. For more information, see Section 7.6.5, “Installing the Java Remote Loader on UNIX
or Linux,” on page 65.
UNIX/Linux Account Driver: Requires
root
privileges to function.
Novell Sentinel Platform Agent: Install Novell Sentinel Platform Agent by
root
. Create
Dirxml.properties
in the
/etc/opt/novell/sentinelpa/conf
directory. The location where
the event log file is generated
(/var/opt/novell/sentinelpa/data/AuditEvents.log
is the
default location) should have the write permission for a
non-root
user.
Use the following procedure to run the non-
root
installation of the Metadirectory server:
1 Ensure that you have downloaded the necessary Identity Manager files from the Novell
Downloads Web site. For more information, see Chapter 5, “Where to Get Identity Manager,” on
page 39.
2 Install eDirectory 8.8.6 or later as a non-
root
user. For more information, see “Non-root User
Installing eDirectory 8.8.6” (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir88/edirin88/
index.html?page=/documentation/edir88/edirin88/data/a79kg0w.html#bs6a3gs).
3 Log in as the non-
root
user used to install eDirectory.
