Re: [Wrapper-user] Change user:group account under Linux

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Sylvain,
Please open the src/sh.script.in file that ships with the Wrapper and
edit the RUN_AS_USER variable on line 62.   This will cause the
Wrapper and JVM to be launched using the user you specify.

Note that we currently do not support changing the user from root to
another after Java has been launched because doing so would not work
when the JVM needed to be relaunched later.   This is an area that we
have had on the table for a few years, but a clean way of doing it has
not surfaced to date.   This is wanted by users who want Java to
allocate port 80 as root and change to a safer user after it has done
so.

Cheers,
Leif
