Root Privileges

This may help you if it is a single user and not a multiple host case.

We installed our Application Server (version 9) with our security hats on as the user we wanted (i.e user x). As a result of course the directory, files, etc were owned by "user x".

The only problem we've encountered so far is permissions issues when we wanted to change the listener ports (probably because they were in the 0-1024 range). The minute we changed them, the app server wouldn't start.

The solution: 1)stop the appserver, 2)in the .../SUNWAppserver directory issue this command;

3) "usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr userx"

4)start the app server and then we could make our modifications.

Hope this helps, ps embrace these forums as the Sun Doc appear to have went a little down hill. You'll note the previous versions have good examples to reference but may not be entirely relevant to the new versions of Application Server.
