[staf-users] Fw: start procee with different user on RH4 server

[David B. <bd...@us...>]

Do you have the following line in the STAF.cfg file on the system where 
you are trying to start the process:
 
SET PROCESSAUTHMODE none

The following command will tell you whether the Process Auth Mode is None 
on the system: 
 
STAF local PROCESS LIST SETTINGS 
 
Note that you must set the PROCESSAUTHMODE to None on Unix machines to run 
a process as another user. Note that this indicates that usernames will be 
honored but not authenticated. In this mode, passwords are ignored and 
processes are started under the indicated username. You can also set the 
PROCESSAUTHMODE dynamically via a PROCESS SET request. For example:

STAF local PROCESS SET PPROCESSAUTHMODE None 

Also, note that on Unix, STAFProc must be started as root in order to have 
the necessary permissions to run a process as another user.

[staf-users] start procee with different user on RH4 server






Hi, guys:

I want to use process service to start a shell command with another user 
rather than current user,. Follow <STAF V3 User's Guide>, I think that 
such a command may do that:

staf local process start shell command whoami username yl password 123456 
wait returnstdout returnstderr

But it failed when execute this command. Below is error message:

Error during process authentication for user name yl

Somebody could tell me why?

I also get an infomation from 
http://www.mail-archive.com/sta...@li.../msg00219.html 
that even this command executes succcessed, all enviroment variables 
associated with the new user will not be loaded automatically. But my 
shell command depends on enviroment variables such as PATH and other. Is 
there any way to make staf load enviroment variables automatically?
