ZZ00464: ICO 2.4 INSTALLED WITH A NON-ROOT USER NEEDS

IBM Cloud Orchestrator Fix Pack 3 (2.4.0.3) for 2.4

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Add the following to the infocenter:
  
  
  ICO 2.4.02 Installed using a non-root userid. 2 VMware Region
  Servers
  on Redhat 6.5.
  I have installed ICO as a non-root user following this link :
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4KMC_2.4.0.2/com
  .ibm.
  sco.doc_2.4/t_inst_deployment_service.html?lang=en
  
  The install had images hardened to a customers standards. These
  standards have a umask of 0077 set in ~./bashrc. This causes the
  install to fail as this is passed to the root id when creating
  directories in the /tmp folder which have permissions of 700,
  thus the
  non-root user is unable to access the directory. I changed the
  umask
  for the non-root user to 0022 and the install completed without
  a
  problem.
  

Local fix

• no workaround
