Configuring the core components to run as non-root
On UNIX, if you installed Network Manager as a non-root user, and you want to allow that user permissions to run the core components, you must log in as root and perform additional configuration.
Before you begin
Attention: Only install and run as a non-root
user on servers where trusted users are the only users who can log
in.
The Network Manager Web applications must always be run as the user who installed the product.
About this task
To give a non-root user these permissions, you must run a script. It is not possible to install and run Network Manager without ever logging in as the root user. At a minimum you must log in as root temporarily to run this script.
Important: On Linux on IBM z Systems, you must install the GSKit software
before running the setcapabilities script.
