Server instance cannot be started except by instance owner

If a user other than the instance owner cannot start a server instance, you must verify the group and access rights of the user.

On AIX® and Linux™ systems, a user other than the directory server instance owner might not be able to start the directory server instance. The user must meet the following requirements to start the directory server instance.

• The user who is attempting to start the directory server instance is a member of the primary group of the directory server instance owner.
• The directory server instance owner's primary group has Write access to the location where the database was created.

For more information about users and groups, see the Installing and Configuring section in the IBM® Security Verify Directory documentation.
