Changing Ownership and Group Permissions

When installed under the root account, most program files are installed with the user and group permissions of root. You can change the user and group permissions to allow non-root users to administer TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX .

Prerequisites

  • TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX has already been installed and configured.
  • The user ID for the user ownership has been identified and created within the operating system. This user ID is referred to as USERID in this section.
  • The cfadmin group has been created and group ownership has been identified within the operating system.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the directory one level above $CFROOT.
    For example, if TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX is installed in the /opt/mftps directory, navigate to the /opt directory.
  2. Type the following commands (these are example commands for a SUN system): 
    chown –R USERID mftps
chgrp –R cfadmin mftps
chmod –R 775 mftps/config

Result

After completing these steps, you have replaced user and group permissions.
Note:
  • For the root installation, the cfstart and cfstop commands must be issued by the root user.
  • For the non-root installation, the cfstart and cfstop commands must be issued by the same non-root user who has performed the installation.
