Resolving The Problem
This document explains that despite using a user profile with *SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authority, Installation Manager will not install. The installation fails with a message stating Administrative Priviledges Required.
In order to install WebSphere Installation Manager on the IBM i, the following special authorities need to be explicitly granted to the user profile running the installation:
*SECADM
*ALLOBJ
Note: If these are part of a group profile, they will not be inherited.
However, despite the user having these authorities, the following errors are seen:

CRIMC1018E Administrator privileges are required.
You started the Installation Manager in administrator mode, but you do not have the required administrator privileges. On Microsof
t Windows XP Professional, you must be a member of an administrator group. On Windows Vista, Windows 2008, and Windows 7, you must u
se the Run as administrator option. On Linux, UNIX, IBM i, and z/OS, you must have root privileges.
To use the Run as administrator option on Windows:
1. Right-click the executable icon.
2. Select Run as administrator.
3. Enter an administrator password when prompted for either an administrator password or a confirmation.
4. Click Continue.

Resolutions
| 1. 2. | For IBM i 7.1 OS, ensure PTF 5770SS1-SI65442 is applied, which resolved a known issue that can cause the CRIMC1018E message. This has been caused by a CLASSPATH environment variable set in WRKENVVAR LEVEL(SYS) that had an old Java toolbox jar defined. This caused the installation code not to properly check the administrative privileges of the user profile. Once this environment variable was removed, the installation completed normally. Note: This could also be caused by having a copy of jt400.jar in the default classpath location in the IFS ('/qibm/userdata/java400/ext'). |
| 3. | This can also be a very accurate message, so you should be sure to verify the user profile carefully. For example, you will receive the same error if: User class . . . . . . . . . : *SECOFR with Special authority . . . . . . . : *NONE Instead, you must have: Special authority . . . . . . . : *USRCLS The IBM i user profile executing the Installation Manager commands MUST have *SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authorities explicitly defined for the profile. They cannot be inherited via a group profile. |
