Chapter 1 Before You Install Netscape Enterprise Server 15

UNIX and Linux User Accounts for the Server

When the Enterprise Server starts, it runs with a UNIX or Linux user account that

you specify during installation. Any child processes of the server are created with

this accountas theowner. It is best to create a UNIX or Linuxaccount for the server

that has restricted access to your system resources. The account needs read

permissions for the configuration files and write permissions for the

logs

directory. For security reasons, the user account shouldn’t have write permissions

to some of the configuration files, though some, such as the access control files,

should be group writable.

If you don’t create a dedicated user account for Enterprise Server, on many

platforms you can use the account with the name

nobody,butyoumightnotwant

to give the user

nobody permissions for running the Enterprise Server. In addition,

the user

nobody might not work on some systems. Some systems assign a user ID

of -2 for the user

nobody. A user ID of less than 0 generates an error during

installation. Check the

/etc/passwd file to see if the uid for nobody exists, and

make sure it is greater than 0.

The Administration Server can also run with a user account that has write

permissions to the configuration files for all installed servers. However, it’s much

easier to run the Administration Server as

root because then the Administration

Server user can start and stop servers with port numbers less than 1024. (Port

numbers greater than1024 can be started by any user).

root).

NOTE

It’s strongly recommended that you use a dedicated account for the server.

NOTE

When changing the server user, remove any /tmp/lock.* files created in

the /tmp directory.
