adjust_flexlm_owner(1)

NAME

adjust_flexlm_owner - changes the owner of the license server daemon

SYNOPSIS

/etc/opt/licenses/adjust_flexlm_owner

DESCRIPTION

The adjust_flexlm_owner script allows you to change the owner of the license server daemon. The license server daemon is automatically configured to be owned by nobody. The adjust_flexlm_owner script is provided to allow you to change the user name to a valid account. The user name you select starts the license server daemon and has access to the license manager software utilities. Permissions are updated to allow group read and execute privileges for the user name you select.

CAUTION

To avoid potential security risks, do not use root as the user name.

NOTES

The script contains detailed instructions to help you use the script.

If you decide to use a user name that does not exist, create the user account before running the adjust_flexlm_owner script.

For your changes to take effect, you must stop the license daemon (if it is running) and restart it. To do so, follow the instructions at the end of the script.

You can run the adjust_flexlm_owner script at any time to change the user name.
