Re: [U2] uniobjects running as?
The UniRPC/UniObjects process starts of running as root. Once you log in, it
changes user to whoever you log in as (the credentials supply to UniObjects).

Subject: [U2] uniobjects running as?
hey everyone,
does anyone happen to know what user the uniobjects connection is
running as? I would think root, but that doesn't seem to be correct as when I
run a subversion command as root it works fine but when I run it from a
uniobjects connection (via c# calling a pick subroutine) I get prompted to
accept a self signed certificate (yeah yeah I know..) anyway I accepted it
from the command line (so I don't get prompted anymore) as a specific user and
as root (this is all proof of concept test, so if it pans out I will get a
valid certificate).
I am going to modify the pick subroutine to try and figure out what user is
calling the pick subroutine as well as modify my shell script with expect so
that it {A}ccepts the certificate but I thought I would ask the guru's on
here (you know who you are!) in case expect gives me fits
thanks

Re: [U2] uniobjects running as?
Hi Doug (Great Name): UniObjects has two components. First the unirpc process runs as you have setup on startup: Windows usually as the administrator user while on UNIX it can be root but should not be for obvious reasons.. You connection, however, is what user you have setup when you open your U2 account Regards, Doug www.u2logic.com ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] uniobjects running as?
You setup the namefor the uniobjects user. It's not set by the system, it's
set by your routines that open connections as... so-and-so.

Re: [U2] uniobjects running as?
The rpc deamon will run as root, but when it spawns a udt process to fulfil
your uniobjects process it will spawn it as the user you use in the
uniobjects session.

Re: [U2] uniobjects running as?
thanks Dan,
I am a bit confused as to why when I accept the certificate issue and
run the program from TCL it works fine but if I run it from my c# app (logging
in as the same user) I get the message to accept the certificate again (when I
already accepted it permanently from tcl)
I bet it a path issue, which begs another question, how does it (uniobjects)
get its env (in particular PATH) I will add logging of the env tonight and
compare it to the env of my regular user when logged in I bet they are
different and uniobjects doesn't see that I already permanently accepted the
certificate (even though its self signed)
thanks again

Re: [U2] uniobjects running as?
Why would it not use the env settings of the user you log in as in uniobjects?
Why don't you try to log in as that user yourself and check the settings

Re: [U2] uniobjects running as?
As a regular user when you login you can have a local .profile (assuming your using ksh which I am) which is sourced after loading the system profile (/etc/profile) when logging in as a uniobjects user you really don't have a home directory and it doesn't execute the .profile in your home directory (I think) I verified this by modifying a c# program I have to return the path and compared it to the path set after I logged in, as I expected (and should of remembered) the path only included what was in /etc/profile (/sbin;/usr/bin;/usr/bin) and not all the other path's that I added in my .profile. I think I found a workaround for my original issue which was that subversion was not seeing the fact that I permanently accepted the self signed certificate by including the following in my svn command --config-dir path to my configuration so even though it wasn't in the uniobjects connection path by including it in the svn command it now sees that I have accepted the cert (in my configuration) and no longer prompts me. thanks to everyone who responded dougc On Jul 24, 2012, at 2:51 PM, Wols Lists wrote: On 24/07/12 18:57, Wjhonson wrote: Why would it not use the env settings of the user you log in as in uniobjects?
