Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

You should definitely not run any part of grouper as root :)  (except perhaps 
whatever part of web server listens on 443 :) )

I would make a user and run tomcat or GSH or whatever as that.  Yes, needs 
file permissions and should be good.

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Grouper process effective user?


When running Grouper, is there any requirement to run it as a particular user?
In our development environment, we've been running the daemons as root, but I 
think I'd like to limit the process to a non-superuser local account.  Do I 
need to be mindful of anything other than the file system permissions where I 
installed the software?
