6.6.a.1: Running the product servers and consoles as non-root
The application server can be run using a non-root ID. By default, WebSphere servers
use a root ID. Use these instructions to change the ID.
- Change permissions to the product installation directories to
allow access to the administrative server when it "runs as" a non-root ID.
Do one of the following:
- Ensure that all ports have a value greater than or equal to 1024. The default
configuration file, server-cfg.xml, must have its orbSetting's bootstrapPort changed:
- Open the server configuration file in a text editor.
- Change the bootstrapPort of the orbSettings:
<orbSettings xmi:id="ORBConfig_1" enable="true" bootstrapHost="localhost" bootstrapPort="2222">
where 2222 is just an example of a new port that you might use.
Changing the bootstrap port affects the clients that connect to the server.
See the port administration overview for details.
- Start the administrative server, using the new ID.
